%X Traumatic coronary artery-cameral fistulas (TCAF) are rare and may present secondary to penetrating injuries (80%)or iatrogenic traumas. Early operative intervention remains the recommended treatment modality for accidental traumatic coronary artery fistulas. We report the case of a 17-year-old man who presented with left anterior descending coronary artery-right ventricle fistula following penetrating cardiac trauma, which was successfully repaired surgically.
