Use of interlocking detachable coils in embolization of coronary arteriovenous fistulas.
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.
