Year: 2023
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Coronary artery fistulas may be defined as abnormal connections between a coronary artery and either a heart chamber or the pulmonary artery. Although usually asymptomatic, they can become enlarged and rupture in rare instances, requiring prompt intervention. We present a case of a 66-year-old male patient with a left anterior descending-pulmonary artery fistula managed with coil embolization.
