title: Tetralogy of fallot with coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula and unusual coronary pattern: missed diagnosis.
abstract: Coronary arteries to pulmonary artery fistulas are rare in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot. Even rarer is the occurrence of these fistulas from a solitary coronary system. We report one such patient in whom the preoperative diagnosis was missed. The importance of a high index of suspicion for accurate preoperative diagnosis is discussed.
