Abstract

Congenital coronary fistula is an infrequent condition generally asymptomatic, which is mostly diagnosed by an incidental finding. Depending on the presence of hemodynamic compromise, coronary fistulas may be treated with a conservative approach, with surgery or, recently, with transcatheter closure. We present a case report of a patient with a large coronary-cameral fistula treated with percutaneous embolization with Amplatzer vascular plug. No complications developed during the procedure and follow-up.
