Cases of coronary to pulmonary artery fistula are seen in patients of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (VSD). These fistulas are rarely seen in patients of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). In this case report, we have presented ICU management of a postoperative case of TOF, with missed diagnosis of left main coronary artery (LMCA) to main pulmonary artery (MPA) fistula.
