Abstract
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an incidental finding in up to 0.2% of cardiac catheterization studies and is a rare pathologic condition affecting up to 1% of the general population. We report two cases of CAF diagnosed by coronary angiography and managed by surgical ligation, with excellent postoperative outcome. Anatomic location, clinical presentation, investigation, and treatment of CAF are discussed.
