title: Coronary artery-left ventricle fistula complicating balloon angioplasty--a case report.
abstract: The authors describe a coronary artery fistula complicated balloon angioplasty. The proximal left anterior descending coronary artery was dilated, but a septal branch was occluded by thrombus. Angioplasty was used on the septal branch, but a pseudoaneurysm communicating with the left ventricle occurred. Follow-up angiography revealed spontaneous closure of the fistula.
