Pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect with coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula: case report and review of the literature.
The pulmonary blood supply in patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect is highly variable. Several cases have been reported in the literature in which a coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula, alone or in combination with additional vessels, supplies the pulmonary circulation. We report a case of successful repair during early infancy, with unique hemodynamic, clinical, and anatomic features. The literature is reviewed.
