Abstract
A right coronary artery (RCA) aneurysm with a fistula to the left ventricle is rare. In general, the draining site of the RCA fistula may be the right ventricle, right atrium, or pulmonary veins, whereas drainage to the left ventricle occurs less frequently. We report a patient with a RCA aneurysm with a fistula to the left ventricle. He was treated successfully by resection of the RCA aneurysm and closure of the fistula.
