ABSTRACT
Coronary artery fistulas are rare, but one of the most common forms of congenital coronary abnormalities. These patients are often diagnosed incidentally undergoing coronary angiography, but with the advent of novel cardiac imaging tools, there is an increasing rate of detection as well as transcatheter management of these fistulas. Our case is unusual in a way that it involved a combination of two separate coronary artery fistulas arising from both the coronary systems draining into the same site.

Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve syndrome is commonly associated with trachea-bronchial anomalies, possibly due to airway compression caused by massively dilated pulmonary arteries secondary to severe pulmonary regurgitation. This airway obstruction may persist post-operatively also. We report a case of an infant who required a series of management strategies including bronchial stenting to manage his obstructive symptoms.
