| Summary: | Background: Coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula (CPAF) complicated by giant coronary aneurysms is an exceedingly rare anomaly, with limited clinical experience. Case summary: A 77-year-old woman with CPAF and giant aneurysms was diagnosed via multimodal imaging and effectively treated with stent-assisted coil embolization, underscoring its value in high-risk patients. Conclusion: A comprehensive review outlines the key aspects of CPAFs with aneurysms and underscores the importance of tailored management. Although rare, CPAF with giant aneurysms poses a significant risk of rupture or ischemia. Timely diagnosis and tailored interventional management can lead to favorable outcomes. |
