Current treatments for congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) include surgical obliteration and transcatheter occlusion. However, surgical techniques involve significant trauma. Transcatheter occlusion is performed under fluoroscopy and angiography, in which radiation injury is inevitable. We present a patient, with a CAF from the left coronary artery to the right atrium, who underwent peratrial device closure of the CAF with a right parasternal approach under transesophageal echocardiography guidance. Complete occlusion was achieved by a symmetric ventricular septal occluder. We suggest that peratrial device closure of a congenital coronary artery fistula through a right parasternal approach may be a safe and effective option.

Congenital coronary artery fistula is an extremely rare anomaly that may involve any of the coronary arteries and any of the cardiac chambers. We report the case of a 14-year-old female patient with a symptomatic congenital coronary fistula starting from the left main coronary artery and draining to the coronary sinus. The patient underwent surgical ligation of the fistula and had an excellent outcome.
