Surgical Treatment of Giant Coronary Aneurysm with Coronary Arteriopulmonary Fistula

Abstract

Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare pathological phenomenon of coronary arteries. The etiology, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of CAA remain unclear. Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an abnormal connection between a coronary artery and either a cardiac chamber or the great vessels. In this paper, we report the surgical treatment of a 53-year-old woman with a giant left coronary aneurysm and a coronary pulmonary artery fistula.
