The 20 Best Coronary Artery Fistula Doctors Near Me in Baton Rouge, LA

Coronary artery fistula (abnormal opening or connection) is a rare condition usually present at birth (congenital) in which there is an opening between one of the coronary arteries and another blood vessel or a chamber of the heart. This abnormal opening can affect the blood flow to the heart and cause dilation of the coronary artery. Infants born with coronary artery fistula often also have other heart defects. Coronary artery fistula can also develop after birth from an infection, heart surgery, or an injury.
