Abstract :
The fistula from coronary artery to pulmonary artery is a well- known abnormality. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare and fatal disease. Broncho-pulmonary or aorto-pulmonary collaterals have been reported in this disease. However coronary-pulmonary collaterals have not been reported before.
