Coronary Artery-Pulmonary Artery Fistula in Pulmonary Atresia With
Ventricular Septal Defect; Report of 2 Surgical Cases
Abstract
Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) is a
congenital complex cardiac anomaly. The blood supply to the lungs can be
from patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), major aortopulmonary collateral
artery (MAPCA) or in very rare cases from coronary artery-pulmonary
artery fistula (CAPAF). We had coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula
(CAPAF) in 2 patients which had surgical intervention. In our first
patient which was operated 10 years ago, the main pulmonary artery had a
source from LMCA. In second patient, the right pulmonary artery derived
from LMCA and advanced to the right lung from the posterior of the aorta
and the left pulmonary artery was coming out of the PDA.
