Case report demonstrates successful transcatheter coil embolization of a coronary cameral fistula in a young male, highlighting the feasibility of catheter closure in structurally normal hearts.
Coronary-cameral fistulas (CCFs) are the anomalous connection between a coronary artery (CA) and a great vessel or cardiac chamber. About 90 % of CA fistulas are congenital and are related to persistent sinusoids during the embryonic period. Most fistulas originate from the right and left anterior descending CAs. The circumflex CA is rarely involved.
