An unusual case of coronary artery fistula successfully treated by transcatheter approach

Cardiol Young. 2023 Sep;33(9):1769-1771. doi: 10.1017/S1047951123000367. Epub 2023 Apr 11.

Abstract

Coronary artery fistulas are rare, but one of the most common forms of congenital coronary abnormalities. These patients are often diagnosed incidentally undergoing coronary angiography, but with the advent of novel cardiac imaging tools, there is an increasing rate of detection as well as transcatheter management of these fistulas. Our case is unusual in a way that it involved a combination of two separate coronary artery fistulas arising from both the coronary systems draining into the same site.

Keywords: Coronary artery fistula; coronary angiography; percutaneous closure.
