  • Title: Myocardial ischemia due to a coronary-pulmonary fistula treated with coil embolization.
    Author: Fiocca L, Clerissi J, Bronzini R, Zumbo F, Di Biasi M, Montenero AS.
    Journal: Ital Heart J; 2004 Jul; 5(7):551-3. PubMed ID: 15487275.
    Abstract:
    We describe one case of myocardial ischemia due to a coronary-pulmonary fistula, successfully treated with coils. Coronary fistulae are a rare cause of angina in adults with normal coronary arteries. Percutaneous treatment represents an alternative to surgery and may be offered as a relatively low risk procedure. The choice between surgical and percutaneous treatment must take into account clinical and anatomical considerations.
