    Author: Qureshi SA, Reidy JF, Alwi MB, Lim MK, Wong J, Tay J, Baker EJ, Tynan M.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1996 Jul 01; 78(1):110-3. PubMed ID: 8712100.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen patients underwent transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas using interlocking detachable coils alone or combined with fibered coils. Complete occlusion was achieved in 92% of patients; although inadvertent embolization of coils occurred in 23% of patients, all these coils were easily retrieved using snares.
