Brief Summary: Background and Purpose Congenital coronary artery fistula CAF is an uncommon anomaly In some patients they can became symptomatic associated with significant morbidity and mortality We report our experience in percutaneous treatment of CAF
Detailed Description: Congenital coronary artery fistula CAF can be defined as a direct communication of a coronary artery with a cardiac chamber great vessel or other vascular structure bypassing the myocardial capillary bed

CAF is an uncommon anomaly occurring as an incidental finding in 01 to 02 of coronary angiograms They are not gender specific Many patients have symptoms like congestive heart failure infective endocarditis myocardial ischemia or rupture of an aneurismal fistula Surgical closure of coronary artery fistula was initially reported in 1983 with low rates of morbidity and mortality

Percutaneous treatment appeared as an alternative to surgery Transcatheter closure of CAF was first utilized in 1983 Along this years with experience and improvements in catheterization equipment and occlusion devices CAF occlusion have been successfully performed using microcoils

We report our experience in using microcoils to percutaneous treatment of coronary fistulas
