In cases of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect ( PA ‐ VSD ), coronary‐pulmonary arterial fistula ( CPAF ) as the main source of pulmonary blood supply is extremely rare. These fistulae may arise from the left coronary artery, right coronary artery, or a single coronary artery. Fistulae from a single coronary artery are unusual. We are reporting a case of PA ‐ VSD with single coronary artery and CPAF as the main source of pulmonary supply in addition to two major aortopulmonary collateral arteries ( MAPCAS ). Successful surgical correction with VSD closure and right ventricle ( RV ) to the pulmonary artery ( PA ) conduit was made.
