  • Title: Coil embolization of a coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula from an antegrade approach.
    Author: Wax DF, MaGee AG, Nykanen D, Benson LN.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1997 Sep; 42(1):68-9. PubMed ID: 9286546.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter embolization of coronary artery fistulae has become the therapy of choice for this uncommon lesion. We report a case in which transcatheter embolization was performed in a nine-year-old boy with a large fistula originating from the proximal portion of the left anterior descending artery and communicating with the pulmonary artery and the right coronary artery. The fistula was occluded 'antegrade' by cannulating the connection with the pulmonary artery to deliver occluding coils.
