Abstract

Coronary to pulmonary arterial fistula complicated with huge coronary aneurysm is a very rare condition. In this paper, we report a patient with bilateral coronary arteries to pulmonary artery fistulas with a giant coronary artery aneurysm. The patient was treated successfully by closure of the fistulas and repair of the coronary artery aneurysm with the preparation of multimodality imaging for surgery.

Keywords: aneurysm; cardiac imaging; coronary artery fistula.
