Left internal mammary artery to pulmonary vasculature fistulas are rare complications following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. In symptomatic cases, management may either be conservative, or involve coil embolisation or surgical ligation of the fistula. We describe a 52-year-old male patient who suffered from an acute coronary syndrome due to significant stenosis of the right coronary artery 12 years after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Coronary angiography accidentally revealed a fistulous connection between the left internal mammary artery and the left pulmonary vasculature. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for his right coronary artery and was managed conservatively for his fistula.
