[Percutaneous occlusion with coils of coronary artery fistulas in adults].

چکیده
Coronary artery fistulas are one of the most common congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries. Most fistulas are small and of no clinical significance, although larger or multiple fistulas can be symptomatic and produce complications. Early percutaneous occlusion is now always recommended, and surgical closure is restricted to use for multiple or large fistulas. Here we report four cases of coronary fistula draining from the coronary arteries to the pulmonary vascular bed, which were treated with percutaneous occlusion by coils.

Use of interlocking detachable coils in embolization of coronary arteriovenous fistulas.
Thirteen patients underwent transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas using interlocking detachable coils alone or combined with fibered coils. Complete occlusion was achieved in 92% of patients; although inadvertent embolization of coils occurred in 23% of patients, all these coils were easily retrieved using snares.
متن کاملTranscatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas.
BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas has emerged as a successful alternative to surgery. We describe various techniques and short-term findings in 15 patients who were taken up for transcatheter closure of these fistulas. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen patients (aged 2-55 years; 12 males) with coronary artery fistulas underwent percutaneous transcatheter closure between J...
متن کاملTranscatheter therapeutic embolization of multiple coronary artery fistulas.
Coronary artery fistulas, although rare, are the most prevalent and hemodynamically significant congenital malformation of the coronary circulation. Diffuse, multiple fistulas involving both the left and right coronary arteries are even rarer. This disorder has traditionally been managed by surgical ligation. However, now that closure by a transcatheter technique has been successful, endovascul...
متن کاملTranscatheter embolization in the treatment of coronary artery fistulas.
Seven patients with a coronary artery fistula underwent percutaneous transcatheter embolization (five were male and two female; the age range was 2 to 67 years [median 17]). Three patients were symptomatic. The left to right shunt ranged from 1.6 to 2.6:1. In six patients, the fistula was an isolated congenital anomaly; in one, it was acquired. The fistula arose from branches of the left (n = 5...
متن کاملPercutaneous embolization of vascular fistulas using coils or Amplatzer vascular plugs.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES A great variety of different types of vascular fistula are referred to cardiac catheterization laboratories for diagnosis and percutaneous occlusion. In addition, a wide range of devices is available for treating them percutaneously. The objectives of this study were to assess the usefulness and difficulty of treating vascular fistulas percutaneously using controlled...
