Transcatheter coronary artery fistula occlusion in pediatric and adult patients facilitated by detachable coils

Kali A. Hopkins, Erin Unger, Daniel Schimmel, Alan Nugent, Paul Tannous

Coronary artery fistulae are rare congenital or acquired lesions that may require surgical or transcatheter closure to prevent long-term sequelae. We present our experience using detachable coils with expandable hydrogel for successful occlusion of fistulae in patients ranging from 7 months to 82 years of age. The young children demonstrated remarkable remodeling of giant coronary aneurysms after fistula closure.
