[Surgical management of coronary artery fistula with tricuspid stenosis in a three-month-old infant].
This is a case report of a 3-month-old infant who had been suffering from progression of cardiac failure. Two dimensional echo-cardiography revealed a fistula between the right coronary artery to the right heart. He was operated upon using extracorporeal circulation. Symbas procedure was carried out to close the fistula. Upon opening the right atrium, there noted tricuspid stenosis (TS). Then, ASD was created to reduce the right atrial pressure to prevent right heart failure secondary to TS. He is doing well postoperatively.
