title: Off-label use of the amplatzer ductal occluder II additional size for percutaneous closure of congenital and acquired coronary fistulae.
abstract: We report two cases in which congenital and acquired fistulae (CAFs) have been successfully closed by using the Amplatzer Ductal Occluder (ADO) II AS in children. Because of the flexibility, small profile and short length of ADO II AS, this device proved to be an excellent option in case of tortuous and short CAFs with coronary branches next to the fistulous orifice. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
