โœฆ Synopsis

Transcatheter embolization of coronary artery fistulae has become the therapy of choice for this uncommon lesion. We report a case in which transcatheter embolization was performed in a nine-year-old boy with a large fistula originating from the proximal portion of the left anterior descending artery and communicating with the pulmonary artery and the right coronary artery. The fistula was occluded 'antegrade' by cannulating the connection with the pulmonary artery to deliver occluding coils.

An accessory coronary artery originating from the pulmonary trunk was discovered in a gross anatomy dissection specimen during the autumn quarter of 1959. This is apparently a rare anomaly as only a single case with some similarity can be found in the literature. Although many cases in which a repl

## Abstract The embryologic origin of fistulous communications between a coronary artery and the pulmonary artery has traditionally been explained as the persistence of an immature supernumerary coronary artery with its origin in the pulmonary trunk. Although this hypothesis is consistent with the
