Abstract

Coronary artery fistulas are rare anomalies that often become symptomatic with age. They are typically diagnosed incidentally during coronary angiography. The chief nonsurgical treatment is transcatheter coil embolization. We evaluated the outcomes of this procedure in 17 symptomatic patients who had 22 fistulas in total.
