A complicated percutaneous coil embolisation of a large coronary artery fistula.
A coronary artery fistula is a rare cause of cardiac symptoms or signs in an adult. We report here the successful percutaneous treatment of a large fistula in an adult who had suffered an acute myocardial infarction peri-operatively due to a steal phenomenon. Due to the fistula size, a specially constructed occlusion device was utilised for effective treatment.
