Although rare, CAFs can lead to substantial coronary morbidity and mortality. This study outlines the surgical management of a CAF originating from the left coronary artery and connecting to the right atrium, in a patient experiencing angina with a marked left-to-right shunt. The surgical approach involved ligation of the coronary artery and reduction of the aneurysmal portion, resulting in the patient's uneventful recovery.Journal of chest surgery220-224https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10927425biostudies-literatureSurgical Treatment of an Aneurysmal Coronary Artery Fistula between the Left Coronary Artery and Right Atrium: A Case Report.PMC10927425Kim JHYoo JSfalseSurgical Treatment of an Aneurysmal Coronary Artery Fistula between the Left Coronary Artery and Right Atrium: A Case Report.A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an abnormal vascular connection between the coronary arteries and the cardiac chambers or major vessels.
