Özet

Coronary artery fistula constitutes a rare congenital anomaly, The reported incidence of this anomaly ranges from 0.1% to 0.2% of the population undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary-pulmonary artery fistula is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the coronary artery. Its real incidence is unknown. The authors report a case of coronary-pulmonary artery fistula that caused right heart failure in a 77-year-old woman, The fistula, arising from a proximal portion of the circumflex artery to the pulmonary artery, was sealed successfully using a Jostent (polytetrafluoroethylene-covered graft stent).
