  • Title: Transcatheter occlusion of a large coronary artery fistula using a patent ductus arteriosus occluder.
    Author: Białkowski J, Szkutnik M, Fiszer R, Zembala M.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 2011; 69(12):1318-9. PubMed ID: 22219122.
    Abstract:
    A large fistula from the left coronary artery to the right ventricle was successfully closed percutaneously in a 40 year-old patient using a patent ductus arteriosus occluder. The device was positioned and deployed via the venous system using a guidewire that had been advanced via the aorta, coronary artery and fistula to the venous circulation (arterio-venous loop creation). No complications were reported at follow-up.
