Coronary artery fistulae are rare anomalous connections arising from the coronary circulation. We report a case of anterior wall myocardial ischemia caused by the combination of sequential coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula and moderate (50-60%) stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Ischemia was demonstrated by myocardial stress perfusion imaging as well as fractional flow reserve. Percutaneous coronary intervention of the lesion resulted in resolution of ischemia.
