Abstract
A 56-year-old woman is presented with a large coronaryartery-to-bronchial-artery anastomosis associated with aortitis syndrome. Her angina, which was the result of a coronary artery steal, was relieved by surgical division of the anastomotic vessei. Pulmonary artery obstruction, as a pulmonary lesion of aortitis syndrome, might increase the collateral flow from the coronary artery through the bronchial artery to the pulmonary circulation.Keywords
