We report a case of coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula with a large coronary artery aneurysm (80 mm). A 62-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of syncope without heart failure. Electrocardiogram abnormality and asynergy in the anteroseptal wall were detected on echocardiography. Coronary angiography and multi-detector row computed tomography( MDCT) showed a large coronary artery aneurysm and coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula originating from the right coronary artery( RCA), left main trunk( LMT) and left anterior descending artery( LAD). The fistula was treated using ligation and endocardial closure, and the aneurysm was resected without coronary artery bypass grafting. Postoperatively, MDCT showed that the fistula and aneurysm had disappeared. MDCT was useful for understanding the spatial relation of the coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula.
