Successful concomitant treatment of a coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula and a left anterior descending artery stenosis using a single covered stent graft: a case report and literature review.
This report describes a case of a 47-year-old man who presented with early post-Q wave myocardial infarction angina and an atherosclerotic left anterior descending stenosis associated to a coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula. Both coronary stenosis and fistula were successfully treated with a single polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent graft implantation by intravascular ultrasound-guided procedure.
