Abstract
We describe a 50-year-old man with onset of severe hemoptysis and anemia. Twenty-three years earlier, he had undergone a surgical procedure for a left thoracic wound as a result of a knife injury. Current diagnosis of aneurysm of the left ventricle and coronary-pulmonary artery fistula was made after coronary arteriography. The patient underwent resection of the aneurysm and repair of the fistula.
