Coronary steal caused by a coronary artery fistula

Transcatheter embolization of coronary artery fistula with controlled release coils

The treatment for large congenital coronary cameral fistulas has been surgical but with advances in interventional catheterization techniques transcatheter embolization of these fistulas with coils or detachable balloons is now possible. This report describes occlusion of a congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula in a 6-year-old girl.

Embolization of a coronary fistula with a controlled delivery platinum coil in a 2-year-old

Congenital coronary artery disorders are rare. Elective closure is proposed in view of the morbidity reported later in life. Excellent results have been reported with surgery, and recently catheter occlusions have been successful. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl whose coronary artery fistula was occluded with a special controlled delivery coil system.
