Abstract

Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems Cardiovascular System & Cardiology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Surgery
We present here a case of a symptomatic chest injury with a nail gun causing a delayed occurrence of coronary artery fistula to the left pulmonary artery presenting with unstable angina 4 years after the initial injury, three of which were symptom-free. The patient underwent successful surgical closure of the fistula and removal of the foreign body.
