  • Title: Successful closure for a case of congenital coronary artery fistula using a patent ductus arteriosus occluder.
    Author: Zhao G, Jin H, Wu H.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2011 Feb; 21(1):97-100. PubMed ID: 20977820.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of transcatheter occlusion of a large and tortuose coronary artery fistula in an 8-year-old girl. During 2.5 years' of follow-up, she had no complaints and developed normally. This method of reserving the guide wire in cardiac catheterisation is extremely useful. Through the application of a patent ductus arteriosus occluder, the transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas proves to be a safe, feasible, and cost-effective option to surgery.
