  • Title: It hurts to swallow! Pseudoachalasia resulting from attempted transcatheter occlusion of a giant congenital coronary artery fistula.
    Author: Le J, Deano RC, Raval AN.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2019 Dec 01; 94(7):980-983. PubMed ID: 31609056.
    Abstract:
    Congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare anomaly that can cause heart failure and myocardial ischemia. In recent decades, transcatheter approaches to occlude CAF have emerged as minimally invasive alternatives to surgical ligation. Reported complications with transcatheter CAF occlusion include device embolization and dissection. We report the first case of attempted transcatheter occlusion of a giant CAF that resulted in severe pseudoachalasia.
