To present a comprehensive management of right pulmonary artery to left atrium fistula in an organised manner with excellent results, even in adult population.
Seven consecutive patients of RPA to LA fistula were investigated with appropriate diagnostic modalities and underwent successful surgical correction.
Post procedure the oxygen saturation improved to >95% in all the patients. There were no early or late post-operative deaths. All patients underwent TTE at every follow up.
Appropriate use of imaging techniques helps in exact diagnosis with anatomical delineation which decides the further line of management in relieving the symptoms and prevention of complications of the fistula.
