title: Congenital circumflex coronary arteriovenous fistula with aneurysmal termination in the pulmonary artery.
abstract: Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital anomaly that is seen in 0.1 % to 0.2% of coronary angiograms. Aneurysmal formation in the fistula is even rarer. We report a case of congenital circumflex arteriovenous fistula with aneurysmal formation just near its termination in the pulmonary artery, associated with atherosclerotic left anterior descending coronary artery. The anomaly was successfully repaired.
