Abstract :
A coronary fistula is an extremely rare coronary artery anomaly and its incidence is 0.08-0.4% (1). A fistula between the Left internal mammary graft (LIMA) graft and pulmonary vein after a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a very rare event, which can result in recurrence of anginal symptoms related to coronary steal (2). We present a 57 year old male patient who had coronary bypass surgery 3 years earlier with a fistula between the LIMA graft and left pulmonary vein after CABG surgery.
