- Abstract
A typical case of anginal syndrome in a fifty year old male has been described. The underlying lesion was congenital coronary arterio-venous fistula between the left anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery and pulmonary artery. Diagnosis has been made by coronary angiography and proved at operation. The patient underwent successful operation where a multiple fistulous ostia draining into the pulmonary trunk were obliterated by means of extracorporeal circulation. The pertinent literature related to this congenital anomaly and symptomatology has been reviewed.
