Successful percutaneous closure of a tortuous coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula using the anchor technique: a different approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is described as an anomalous connection between a coronary artery and a major vessel or cardiac chamber. It can result in myocardial ischemia, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, bacterial endocarditis, and rupture of aneurysmal vessels [1]. The majority of these fistulae originate from the left anterior descending artery or from the right coronary artery [2]. Symptomatic coronary artery fistulae are usually treated with percutaneous intervention or surgical correction [3]. We report herein a case of successfully performed percutaneous coil embolization of a tortuous coronary artery fistula using the anchor technique.

Successful percutaneous coil embolization of a severely tortuous coronary artery fistula using the mother-child-grandchild technique via a GuideLiner catheter
Coronary artery fistula is an uncommon congenital disease that requires invasive treatment for symptomatic patients. Although percutaneous intervention has become the popular treatment option, surgical treatment is preferred for severely tortuous coronary artery fistulas. We report a case of an extremely tortuous coronary artery fistula successfully treated with the support of the GuideLiner ca...
متن کاملPercutaneous approaches to closure of coronary artery fistulas
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is the most common hemodynamically significant congenital coronary anomaly. Blood is shunted from the coronary artery to a cardiac chamber, vein or intrathoracic vessel, bypassing the myocardial capillary network. The majority of the fistulas are small, and are detected incidentally and do not require intervention. The natural history of a CAF is variable and even ...

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...

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. We report three cases of ALCAPA who survived to adulthood. The first case was a 51-year-old woman who complained of typical chest pain that was diagnosed with ALCAPA using cardiac catheterization and coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The second case was a 30-...
متن کاملA case with successful retrograde stent delivery via AC branch for tortuous right coronary artery.
The retrograde approach is a novel technique of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion. This technique has improved the success rate of guidewire passage through the occlusion. In the retrograde approach, a microcatheter and balloon are delivered through a retrograde channel. However, it is difficult for a stent to pass through collateral arteries. We report a case of co...
