  • Title: Coronary-pulmonary artery fistula associated with right heart failure: successful closure of fistula with a graft stent.
    Author: Atmaca Y, Altin T, Ozdöl C, Pamir G, Cağlar N, Oral D.
    Journal: Angiology; 2002; 53(5):613-6. PubMed ID: 12365873.
    Abstract:
    Coronary artery fistula constitutes a rare congenital anomaly. The reported incidence of this anomaly ranges from 0.1% to 0.2% of the population undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary-pulmonary artery fistula is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the coronary artery. Its real incidence is unknown. The authors report a case of coronary-pulmonary artery fistula that caused right heart failure in a 77-year-old woman. The fistula, arising from a proximal portion of the circumflex artery to the pulmonary artery, was sealed successfully using a Jostent (polytetrafluoroethylene-covered graft stent).
