Transcatheter Closure of Complex Left Circumflex to Coronary Sinus Fistula

Coronary artery fistulae connecting the left circumflex to the coronary sinus are rare. Surgical closure of coronary sinus connections is technically challenging because of the location, especially in high-risk surgical patients. We used multimodality imaging to delineate the drainage site and succe...

Sumario:Coronary artery fistulae connecting the left circumflex to the coronary sinus are rare. Surgical closure of coronary sinus connections is technically challenging because of the location, especially in high-risk surgical patients. We used multimodality imaging to delineate the drainage site and successfully closed a left circumflex to coronary sinus fistula using a transcatheter closure technique. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
