Successful percutaneous closure of multiple coronary artery fistulas with coils embolization in two adults

Successful closure for a case of congenital coronary artery fistula using a patent ductus arteriosus occluder

“…There are many cases of closing relatively small coronary artery fistulas with a coil. 4,5 It is, however, inappropriate to The performance of radiography of the right coronary artery is again an indication that the fistula exit is closed and the right coronary artery is clear. Figure 7.…”

“…In order to avoid median sternotomy and sometimes cardiopulmonary bypass, a percutaneous transcatheter closure can be proposed. There are many cases of closing relatively small coronary artery fistulas with a coil 4 , 5 . It is, however, inappropriate to adopt the coil closure method for a relatively large and tortuose fistula.…”

Coronary-to-Pulmonary Artery Fistula and Concomitant Acute Coronary Syndrome: Two Cases

“…A great majority of the coronary-pulmonary fistulas in adults, whether congenital or acquired, are benign, in terms of their effect on coronary physiology [3]. Surgical or percutaneous closure of the fistula is recommended if it causes myocardial ischemia, large left-to-right shunts, and heart failure [4]. When symptomatic, coronary artery fistulas are associated with poor outcomes, and in order to prevent complications, closure is recommended at all ages [5].…”

Demonstration of coronary-to-pulmonary fistula with MDCT and conventional angiography

“…Surgical or percutaneous closure of the fistula is recommended if it causes myocardial ischemia, large left-to-right shunts, and heart failure [2,6]. Because he has anginal symptoms and three vessel diseases, coronary artery bypass surgery with surgical closure of the fistulas is recommended for this patient.…”
