Abstract:
:An 8-year-old with a known diagnosis of an asymptomatic coronary artery fistula (CAF) presented with exertional syncope and haemopericardium due to contained rupture of CAF. A transcatheter closure was attempted, but the fistula ruptured again prompting emergency surgical repair. Spontaneous rupture is a catastrophic complication of CAF and warrants a high index of suspicion, timely diagnosis and team management.
