Özet

Between 1988 and 1998, 7 patients with coronary arteriovenous fistulas were treated surgically. Indications for surgery were congestive heart failure and marked left-to-right shunt in association with ischemic heart disease. Long-term follow-up (mean, 99 ± 37 months) was complete and mainly uneventful. Coronary arteriovenous fistulas can be successfully managed by surgery and patients should be treated without delay because complications of an untreated fistula may increase the complexity of the operation.
