Abstract

We report the successful percutaneous closure of a large coronary fistula from the right coronary artery to the right ventricle in a 4-years-old boy using the Amplatzer vascular plug. The device was positioned and deployed via the arterial system.It allows a smaller delivery profile through small sheath or guide catheters and the technique appeared to be easy, safe, and effective.
