Surgical treatment of bilateral aneurysmal coronary to pulmonary artery fistulas associated with severe atherosclerosis.
A 39-year-old diabetic patient with an old inferior wall infarction presented with disabling angina pectoris, despite medical treatment. Coronary angiography showed severe triple-vessel coronary artery disease, and bilateral coronary to pulmonary fistulas originating from the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending coronary artery. Both coronary artery saphenous vein bypass grafting and ligation of the fistulas was performed.
