title: Right coronary artery to left ventricular fistula associated with left ventricular aneurysm.
abstract: An infant with right coronary artery to left ventricular fistula associated with left ventricular aneurysm successfully underwent a division of fistula under cardiopulmonary bypass. Follow-up angiogram showed the patency of the right coronary artery, no recurrence of fistula, and the regression of the left ventricular aneurysm. Because the lesion may progress with age, early diagnosis and surgical intervention are indicated to prevent later complications.
