    AbstractA 63-year-old woman presented with cardiac tamponade because of a ruptured giant left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm with a fistula to the main pulmonary artery. The diagnosis was made intraoperatively during an emergent subxiphoid pericardial window using transesophageal echocardiography and confirmed by intraoperative coronary angiography. Because of this prompt diagnosis, the patient was successfully managed with immediate surgical repair of the aneurysm and fistula.
