title: Successful closure of coronary-bronchial artery fistula with vein graft-coated stent.
abstract: A coronary-bronchial fistula and aneurysmal dilatation of the proximal part of the fistula was successfully closed using an autologous vein graft-coated stent (Palmaz-Schatz stent). This is the first report that demonstrates the feasibility of the vein-coated stent for the treatment of congenital disease.
