Coronary cameral fistulas are unusual congenital or acquired anomalous communications between an epicardial coronary artery and a cardiac chamber. We present such an unusual entity here of a coronary cameral fistula between the left anterior descending artery and the left ventricle that was repaired surgically. Coronary cameral fistula is a rare but surgically curable congenital heart defect . (J Card Surg 2010;25:343‐345)
