Clinical and angiographic follow-up of coronary artery fistula interventions in children: techniques and classification revisited

Abstract

Follow-up angiography revealed a high incidence of parent artery occlusion when the fistula was arising from the native artery and not from one of its branches. Coronary artery fistula intervention of the parent coronary artery fistula always carries the potential risk of ischaemia, unless the distal-most exiting segment is the primary site of occlusion.
