Abstract
- Coronary artery fistula accounts for 0.27~0.4% of all congenital cardiac defects. In more than 50% of the cases, right coronary artery is involved. The fistula drains into the right heart in 92% of the cases. Left heart is the site of termination in only 8% of the cases, especially less left ventricle (3%). We experienced a case of right coronary artery to left ventricular fistula in a 3-year-old boy who was diagnosed incidentally and underwent ligation of fistula.
