Left ventricular fistula as a cause of intractable angina pectoris. Successful surgical repair. 1978

L B Housman, and J Morse, and B Litchford, and R Stein, and J Mazur, and A Starr

Two patients had intractable angina pectoris due to left-coronary-artery to left-ventricle fistulas. Surgical repair resulted in complete relief of symptoms. Postoperative cardiac catheterization showed obliteration of the fistulas, with preservation of ventricular function. Operative therapy is indicated in this disorder.
