Abstract

While a coronary artery fistula with aneurysmal formation is rare, a fistula/aneurysm combination occurring in single coronary artery is even rarer. Here, we report the successful surgical correction of a right ventricular fistula with a large aneurysm of 30 mm and a daughter aneurysm within a case of single coronary artery.
