title: Simultaneous treatment of a fistula and a stenosis at right coronary artery: one stone two birds.
abstract: Coronary artery fistulas are abnormal and rare communications between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or a major vessel. Some devices have been designed to treat coronary fistulas percutaneously like coils and vascular occlusion devices. But most of these have been developed for fistulas unaccompanied by coronary artery disease. It is rational to treat a coronary fistula adjacent to a stenosis with one covered stent graft. This report describes a case of a coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistula with an adjacent right coronary artery stenosis that were both successfully treated by a single expanded polytetrafluoroethylene covered stent graft.
