Rare cause of central cyanosis: right pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula.

A clinical diagnosis is often made by first excluding other common causes and then performing diagnostic catheterization. Surgical closure offers a definitive cure for this rare congenital anomaly. © The Author 2016. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery.
