“…1,2,6 Asymptomatic coronary cameral fistulas without evidence of chamber enlargement, ventricular dysfunction, coronary ischemic steal, or arrhythmias can be monitored every three to 5 years. If there are symptoms of ischemia on exercise stress testing, progressive cardiac chamber enlargement or ventricular dysfunction, or new arrhythmias related to the fistula, closure is recommended 7,8 (Figure 5). The advancement of transcatheter approaches has led to the ability to successfully reduce the burden of symptomatic coronary cameral fistulas with coil embolization or other occlusion devices.…”

A 51‐year‐old patient with progressive right heart dysfunction was found to have a large calcified right atrial mass on echocardiography. As part of the work up for an intracardiac mass he had a cardiac computed tomogram which detailed a large coronary cameral fistula from the circumflex coronary artery to the right atrium associated with a spherical calcific pseudo‐aneurysmal sac. Transcatheter occlusion of the exit point into the atrium with a vascular plug was performed directly from a right atrial approach without the need for an arteriovenous wire loop. This case details a unique presentation of a coronary cameral fistula to an unusual position within the right atrium which facilitated the rare ability to occlude the fistula from a venous approach without creating an arteriovenous wire rail.
