Abstract

Fistulous communication between the coronary artery and cardiac chamber was first reported by Krause1 in 1865. Abbott2 described the condition more thoroughly in 1906 and Björk and Crafoord'3 performed the first surgical correction in 1947. Since that time coronary artery cardiac chamber fistulas have been reported with increasing frequency. The advent of aortography and selective coronary angiography has accurately defined the anatomy, thus allowing precise diagnosis4,5. However, this anomaly occurs infrequently and only a few centers have had extensive experience with operative correction.
