Abstract

We report a very rare case of an infant with coronary arterial fistula in whom the communication between a dilated right coronary artery and the coronary sinus was found. The patient was 1-year-old. She had pulmonary congestion and cardiomegaly due to the left-to-right shunt through the fistula, and underwent ligations of the fistula. Ligations of the fistula was indicated because the patient was too small to undergo a fistula resection and coronary arterial bypass grafting. Although the patient had a successful post-operative course, we are paying attention to the aneurysmal change of the dilated right coronary artery proximal to the site of ligations.
