Successful transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus occluder embolization of a congenital left coronary artery aneurysm and fistulas draining into the right atrium.
Coronary artery aneurysms and fistulas are very rare congenital anomalies. They occur in 0.2%-0.4% of all congenital heart diseases. In this article, we report a case of a 39-year-old girl with a left coronary artery aneurysm and fistula draining into the right atrium. An intervention is successfully achieved by transcatheter occluder embolization using a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occluder.
