Abstract
The case of a male child with pulmonic valvular stenosis and a single coronary artery
is presented. Following a closed pulmonary valvulotomy the patient developed a coronary
artery to right ventricle fistula which became symptomatic.
The acquired fistulous opening in the single coronary artery was closed from within
the right ventricle during extracorporeal circulation. With this technique the circulation
to the heart supplied by this coronary artery was not impaired when the fistula was
obliterated.
