[Multiple pulmonary coronary fistulae. Apropos of a case].
Coronary-pulmonary fistula is a rare congenital anomaly. It is usually detected fortuitously in adulthood during a coronary angiography carried out to assess signs of myocardial ischemia. Multiple coronary fistulae are still more rare. Coronary angiography evaluates the lesions and indicates the most appropriate treatment. The congenital lesions are frequently combined with atheromatous lesions. The case described is that of a double fistula in a 61-year old man which was revealed by angina; the stenoses and occlusions which accompanied the fistulae lead to a discussion of their atheromatous nature and the nature of the pathological link between them: is this fortuitous or are they a progressive complication? Treatment involves both exclusion of the fistulae and coronary revascularization.
