چکیده

We report the case of a 72-year-old man with a congenital coronary fistula between the right coronary artery (RCA) and the main pulmonary artery (PA) associated with coronary atherosclerosis. He remained asymptomatic until 72 years of age, when myocardial ischemia developed. Myocardial revascularization was performed using four saphenous vein grafts. In addition, the coronary fistula was dissected, distally sectioned, and also used as a graft to a suboccluded coronary artery branch.
