[Congenital arterio-venous coronary fistula associated with patent ductus arteriousus: description of a clinical case and review of the literature].
Congenital coronary artery fistulae are rare anomalies (0.27-0.4% of all congenital heart defects) and consist of a communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber, a great artery or the superior vena cava. The association of these congenital anomalies with other congenital cardiovascular defects is unusual. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of congenital coronary fistula between the anterior descending coronary artery and the pulmonary artery associated with patent ductus arteriosus and to review the literature on the subject.
