title: [Coronary artery fistula with left atrial myxoma: report of a case].
abstract: A 64-year-old male was referred for surgical treatment of left atrial myxoma. Preoperative coronary angiography revealed coronary artery fistula from the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery draining into the main pulmonary artery. Operative treatment was performed including resection of the myxoma, patch closure of the atrial septal defect, and closure of the fistula with pledgeted mattress sutures from within the main pulmonary artery on cardiopulmonary bypass. His postoperative course was uneventful, and disappearance of the left atrial myxoma and the coronary artery fistula was ascertained by echocardiography and coronary angiography.
