Late-term Post-operative Recanalization of a Fistula between the Coronary Artery and Bronchial Vein.
A coronary artery fistula is a rare congenital anomaly that creates a direct link between the coronary artery and the heart chambers or other vascular structures. It is often identified coincidentally during diagnostic coronary angiography and may cause coronary steal syndrome. We report on a 54-year-old man with myocardial ischemia who had coronary angiography and a recanalized fistula was detected during the procedure.
