Abstract :
Iatrogenic aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula is a very rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting in which one of the
arterial grafts inadvertently forms a fistulous tract with a cardiac vein, shunting blood from the anastomosed coronary artery.
We report a patient with an iatrogenic left internal mammary artery graft to cardiac vein fistula presenting with recurrent
angina three years after a three-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting.
