The physiology of a coronary to pulmonary artery fistula has not been well characterized. This case report demonstrates the flow velocity pattern of a coronary fistula to the pulmonary artery which supports the hypothesized physiology that flow is predominantly continuous without a phasic pattern.

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 arter
## 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
