Coronary-Pulmonary Artery Fistula Repair With Coil Embolization: A Single Center Experience
Coronary-pulmonary artery fistulas (CPF) are a rare malformation that is often asymptomatic but can be associated with dyspnea, angina, palpitation, dizziness, and syncope.

Sumario: | Coronary-pulmonary artery fistulas (CPF) are a rare malformation that is often asymptomatic but can be associated with dyspnea, angina, palpitation, dizziness, and syncope. Trans-catheter closure (TCC) with coil embolization is gaining prominence relative to surgical closure due to lower complications; however, there is a paucity of literature on the closure of CPFs with TCC. Here, we demonstrate a case series on the closure of a left anterior descending (LAD) artery to pulmonary artery (PA) fistula by advancing a guideliner into the coronary artery up to the origin of the coronary fistula in order to provide support for the advancement of the microcatheter and coil delivery. |
