CLOSURE OF CORONARY FISTULA/Shubrooks, Naggar

چکیده
dysrhythmia must be very exact. With current methods, this limits application of the technique to cases where a stable unifocal ventricular tachycardia with a rate less than 200 beats/min is present in the operating room. It appears likely however that in the near future with the use of multiple simultaneously recorded electrodes and on-line computer analysis, more complex ventricular dysrhythmias may lend themselves to possible surgical intervention.

Transcatheter closure of a congenital coronary artery to right ventricle fistula: a case report
INTRODUCTION Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare anomaly that may cause angina, atrial fibrillation, endocarditis, aneurysmal dilation and myocardial infarction. Both spontaneous regression and life-threatening complications have been described. Treatment can be conservative, surgical or more recently through transcatheter closure. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 27-year-ol...

Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare malformation that may involve any or all coronary artery branches and any cardiac chamber. Elective closure of coronary artery fistula by surgery or percutaneous transcatheter technique is generally accepted in the presence of symptoms. Controversies exist in the management of asymptomatic patients. We report a case of successful percutaneous transca...

INTRODUCTION Coronary artery fistula consists of abnormal congenital connections between a coronary artery and cardiac chambers, a coronary vessel or an intrathoracic vessel that can be complicated by intracardiac shunts, endocarditis, myocardial infarction, or coronary aneurysms. Recent reports have emphasized the efficacy of percutaneous transcatheter techniques as an alternative to surgical ...

The surgical and transcatheter coil closure of coronary arterial fistulas are described in the literature. We report our experience with the successful transcatheter closure of a coronary arterial fistula, arising from the left coronary artery and draining into the right ventricle, with the new Amplatzer duct occluder II device.

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...
