Iatrogenic anastomosis of the internal mammary artery with the great cardiac vein: The first documented case report in Palestine with a literature review
Iatrogenic aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare but important complication of CABG, which can lead to significant clinical symptoms. Early diagnosis through coronary angiography is crucial for guiding appropriate management. Although percutaneous intervention with drug-eluting stents effectively resolved the patient's angina by treating the native LAD stenosis, it is critical to recognize that this approach did not address the underlying LIMA-GCV fistula, which requires separate evaluation and management.
