title: Transbrachial coil embolization of a giant coronary artery fistula.
abstract: Coronary artery fistulae can present late in adult life. We describe the case of a 71-year-old woman who developed a right coronary fistula, which was managed by percutaneous transbrachial coil embolization. Complete closure of the fistula was confirmed by follow-up angiography at 10 months.
