Coronary artery fistulas are usually diagnosed accidentally without the presence of any symptoms. On the other hand, the combination of fistula between the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and pulmonary artery (PA) and severe stenosis of the LAD, as in this case report, is a potential life-threatening condition. A 72-year-old patient was treated surgically after being diagnosed with fistula between the LAD and PA, severe stenosis of the LAD, and severe pulmonary hypertension. In following paragraphs, the case of this man and significant issues regarding the development and management of coronary artery fistulas are analyzed.
