Zusammenfassung:Coronary arterial fistula (CAF) is an abnormal connection between one or both coronary arteries and a cardiac/extra-cardiac chamber or another vessel. Aortocoronary fistula is a rare type of CAF, which involves an anomalous connection between coronary arteries and any segment of aorta. The following case report describes the case of an adult male patient who presented with the complaint of typical chest pain. Coronary angiography was done and the diagnosis of severe three-vessel disease with an associated aortocoronary fistula was made. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was planned and performed, and the patient was discharged after a week postoperatively.
