Myocardial ischemia induced by major aortopulmonary collateral arteries treated with transcatheter coil embolization

Clin Case Rep. 2017 May 12;5(6):1022-1025. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.980. eCollection 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries branching from coronary arteries may cause coronary steal. The careful follow-up is needed irrespective of symptoms because increasing physical activities and oxygen demand along with the age may induce myocardial ischemia. Transcatheter intervention by well-trained physician would be a treatment option in patients with myocardial ischemia.

Keywords: Coil embolization; coronary steal; major aortopulmonary collateral arteries.
