Abstract
A 74-year-old woman with no past medical history showed cardiac tamponade caused by rupture of a coronary-pulmonary artery fistula-related aneurysm. Preoperative pericardial puncture and multidetector computed tomography imaging enabled patient condition optimization and accurate morphologic evaluation of fistula and aneurysm, leading to complete surgical resection of the aneurysm. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
