[Percutaneous closure of complex fistula between the internal mammary artery and a lobar branch of a pulmonary artery].
A through review of the literature identified only 20 reported cases of fistula involving the internal mammary (internal thoracic) artery and a lobar branch of a pulmonary artery. Surgical closure was frequently done to avoid complications associated with this anomaly. We report the first patient in whom percutaneous treatment was accomplished with a combined technique involving an Amplatzer Duct Occluder device and coils.
