Abstract
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a relatively rare congenital abnormality of the coronary arteries; typically, patients who undergo surgery for CAFs are relatively young because it is a congenital disease. Here we present a case of an aneurysmal coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula rupture in a 96-year-old female. Considering her extreme high age and missing preoperative diagnostics, only local hemostasis without anatomical repair was performed but the patient is still doing well 1 year after the operation.Entities:
