Abstract
A 44-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with chest pain. We diagnosed him with pericardial effusion collection because of a spontaneous ruptured coronary aneurysm of 1.5 cm with coronary pulmonary arterial fistula (CPAF) by enhanced computed tomography and angiography. We completely resected the ruptured aneurysm and safely closed the CPAF. Rupture of coronary aneurysms with CPAF is rare, especially tiny aneurysms. In previous reports, most cases were older women and the diameter of the ruptured aneurysms was greater than 3.0 cm. We report a case of a middle-aged man with a tiny ruptured coronary aneurysm with CPAF.

Abstract
Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare entity and is mostly diagnosed and corrected in early childhood. We report the case of a 59-year-old female patient who was presented with chest pain during exertion for 3 months because of an aneurysmatic circumflex artery and coronary sinus fistula. We successfully ligated the circumflex artery close to the main stem and to the coronary sinus. The first marginal branch was revascularized by the left internal thoracic artery. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Abstract
Giant coronary artery aneurysm is a rare condition with a reported prevalence of 0.02%. Herein, we report the case of a 79-year-old woman with a giant coronary aneurysm arising from a branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery that had a fistulous connection to the pulmonary artery. The aneurysm was removed and inflow and outflow arteries were closed surgically. Histology showed prominent mucinous degeneration and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the medial layer. After successful surgery, the patient was discharged uneventfully.

Abstract
A 52-year-old man underwent surgical repair for coronary arteriovenous fistula including patch closure of two exitus of the fistula, double ligation of the dilated right coronary artery, and coronary bypass grafting to the right coronary artery with saphenous vein graft at the age of 25. Then, twenty-seven years later, a multi-detector computed tomographic scan revealed an aneurysmally dilated right coronary artery (4.8 cm), fistula, and saphenous vein graft. The aneurysm was resected and histologically mucoid degeneration in the media of the aneurysmal wall was detected.
