title: Microcoil embolization for treatment of a right coronary arteriovenous fistula.
abstract: A patient initially presented with anginal symptoms and a positive stress thallium test. An arteriovenous malformation in the right coronary artery causing a suspected coronary "steal syndrome" was subsequently discovered. This was treated with a microcoil embolization technique in lieu of the traditional surgical approach and this technique is described in detail. The patient had successful clinical, nuclear, and angiographic outcomes.
