Abstract
A patient with preoperative pulmonary hypertension and a large left to right intracardiac shunt underwent surgical correction of a complex cardiac anomaly and required extracorporeal life support for unexplained ventricular dysfunction following the procedure. Following recovery, a fistulous connection between the right coronary artery and main pulmonary artery was demonstrated. Implications and management strategies of unsuspected coronary fistula in pediatric heart surgery are discussed.
