Abstract Background Management of coronary artery fistula (CAF) is based on obliterating the fistula communication between the cardiac arteries and other thoracic vessels. Case presentation We describe the presentation of an 85-year-old female with progressive exertional dyspnea on a background of a long standing left anterior descending diagonal to pulmonary artery fistula. We utilized neuro-interventional techniques to perform coil embolization via use of a Scepter XC dual lumen micro catheter. Conclusions Dual lumen balloon catheters allow for super-selective artery interrogation, stability of balloon positioning, with less trauma to vessel architecture and accurate embolization. There were no complications and the patient reported improvement of symptoms on review.

Coronary Artery Fistulas

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 catheter and the mother-grandchild technique.

Abstract Background This case reviews a challenging but successful transcatheter coil embolization of a large congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) causing a significant left-to-right shunt. Case summary A 51-year-old female with no significant prior history presented with symptoms of dyspnoea and chest discomfort. Extensive evaluation revealed a large CAF between a tortuous right coronary artery (RCA) and the coronary sinus (CS) composed of three aneurysmal pseudochambers. Closure of the RCA-CS fistula was attempted through coil deployment into the fistula neck. However, due to the brisk flow through the fistula, both coils embolized into the fistula sac. An alternative location was subsequently identified on three-dimensional rendering of a computed tomography angiography scan, which revealed a sharp bend in the RCA prior to the fistula neck and distal to the posterior descending artery (PDA) takeoff. Repeat attempt at embolization was accomplished using a telescoping system to reach and occlude the targeted bend. The coil mass remained stable and angiography demonstrated reduced flow through the fistula and preserved patency of the PDA. The decreased residual flow through the fistula secondary to the initial embolization attempt likely aided the successful deployment of coils in the second and final attempt. At 1 year, the patient was doing well with resolution of her symptoms and no clinical symptoms of coronary ischaemia. Discussion We suggest that an initial unsuccessful attempt at transcatheter embolization of a CAF should not preclude subsequent attempts for closure when there exists an appropriate indication.
