New strategies in the percutaneous management of coronary artery fistulae: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Coronary artery fistulae are rare anomalies often treated percutaneously. New techniques aiding in the percutaneous closure of a giant coronary artery, not previously described, are presented in a case report. These techniques include the use of intravascular ultrasound imaging and the use of electrolytically detachable platinum coils. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2004;61:227–232. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
