Transcatheter occlusion of a large left coronary artery to right superior vena cava fistula using the Amplatzer duct occluder device.
Transcatheter embolization has become the therapy of choice for most coronary artery fistula. We report a 5.9-kg infant with a coronary artery fistula from the left coronary artery to the right superior vena cava with significant congestive heart failure. The infant underwent successful complete occlusion using the Amplatzer duct occluder.
