The left anterior descending arterywas dilated and tortuous because of this fistula. As he had effort dyspneaand fatigue 3 months after this catheterization, we decided to operate onthe fistula, and direct closure of this through the LAD and coronary arterybypass grafting from the proximal to distal LAD were performed. Surgery andthe postoperative course were uneventful. We discuss the surgicalindication and technique for coronary artery fistula acquired as a resultof endomyocardial biopsy after heart transplantation. © Springer-Verlag 1995 European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Elsevier Science B.V. 9/2(1995-02), 106-108 1010-7940 9:2<106 1995 9 ejcts https://doi.org/10.1016/S1010-7940(05)80030-2 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1016/S1010-7940(05)80030-2 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Elsevier Science B.V 9/2(1995-02), 106-108 1010-7940 9:2<106 1995 9 ejcts Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
