Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a relatively rare congenital abnormality of the coronary arteries; typically, patients who undergo surgery for CAFs are relatively young because it is a congenital disease. Here we present a case of an aneurysmal coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula rupture in a 96-year-old female. Considering her extreme high age and missing preoperative diagnostics, only local hemostasis without anatomical repair was performed but the patient is still doing well 1 year after the operation.
冠状动脉瘘（CAF）是一种相对罕见的冠状动脉先天性异常；通常，接受 CAF 手术的患者相对年轻，因为这是一种先天性疾病。在这里，我们报告了一例 96 岁女性的冠状动脉-肺动脉瘘破裂的病例。考虑到她极高的年龄和术前诊断缺失，仅进行了局部止血而未进行解剖修复，但患者在手术后 1 年仍状况良好。
