Application risk assessment and prognosis
Objective Most coronary artery fistulas were reported as congenital. Acquired coronary artery fistula occurring after cardiac surgery has rarely been reported.
p Value 0.011
Conclusion Acquired coronary artery fistula is a rare complication after cardiac surgery. Reoperation and resection of right ventricular hypertrophic muscle increase the risk of this complication. Although shunt flow did not increase during follow-up, the significance of acquired coronary artery fistula needs further investigation.
