New strategies in the percutaneous management of coronary artery fistulae: A case report

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2004 Feb;61(2):227-32. doi: 10.1002/ccd.10758.

Abstract

Coronary artery fistulae are rare anomalies often treated percutaneously. New techniques aiding in the percutaneous closure of a giant coronary artery, not previously described, are presented in a case report. These techniques include the use of intravascular ultrasound imaging and the use of electrolytically detachable platinum coils.
