Article Synopsis
  • Vieussens' arterial ring (VAR) is a rare vascular anomaly involving a connection between the right coronary artery (RCA) and left anterior descending artery (LAD), which can lead to significant clinical issues.
  • An 80-year-old woman was found to have a mediastinal mass that progressed over two years, ultimately leading to a large aneurysm and a fistula between the coronary and pulmonary arteries.
