Coil embolization of iatrogenic coronary-pulmonary arterial fistula after heart transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) is defined as direct connections between the coronary artery and one of cardiac cavities. It is generally derived from right coronary artery (RCA). Fistulas may be congenital or acquired (1). Coronary-pulmonary arterial fistulas (CPAF) constitute 15%-20% of all fistulas. They are mostly small, determined co-incidentally during coronary angiography (CAG), and have no clinical importance. However, in some cases, these fistulas may cause myocardial ischemia, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, syncope, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, and sudden death. Beside medical and surgical methods, coilisation and stent implantation are also performed. We report a case with an iatrogenic CPAF after heart transplantation.

Inadvertent left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-great cardiac vein (GCV) anastomosis is a rare complication of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Patients with iatrogenic aortocoronary fistula (ACF) were usually treated surgical repair, percutaneous embolic occlusion with coil or balloon. We report a case of iatrogenic LIMA to GCV anastomosis successfully treated with coil embolization and p...

Congenital coronary artery fistula is an uncommon anomaly. Transcatheter coil embolization or Amplatzer vascular plug device closure of fistula is often done in symptomatic patients with safe accessibility to the feeding coronary artery. Embolization of Amplatzer vascular plug device is rare. We report an 11-year-old male child who presented to us with increasing shortness of breath for 7 years...
