Significant morbidities, including angina, symptomatic heart failure, and myocardial infarction, have been reported after coronary artery fistula (CAF) closure; however, predictors that may be associated with adverse outcomes have not been established. The goal of this investigation is to describe the long-term outcomes witnessed in patients with either treated or untreated CAF at our institution and to investigate whether certain features predicted adverse outcomes.
