  • Title: Percutaneous Management of Coronary Artery-to-pulmonary Artery Fistula Using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug with the Trans-radial Approach.
    Author: Lee SN, Lee J, Ji EY, Jang BH, Lee HH, Moon KW.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2016; 55(8):929-33. PubMed ID: 27086807.
    Abstract:
    Congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare and asymptomatic, although symptomatic CAFs should be treated with percutaneous intervention or surgery. A 62-year-old woman developed bilateral coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistulas resulting in exertional chest pain. We herein report the successful use of trans-catheter closure of a coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula, which lead to the coronary steal phenomenon, using an Amplatzer vascular plug with the trans-radial approach. After the procedure, the patient remained asymptomatic.
