Key result
Catheter device closure of a congenital left ventricle to coronary sinus fistula and subsequent ablation of an accessory pathway were successfully performed in an infant.
Why the study?
Congenital left ventricle to coronary sinus fistula is a rare entity.
Case Report (n=1)
Catheter-based device closure and ablation can be successfully performed in infants with rare congenital left ventricle to coronary sinus fistulas and concurrent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Transcatheter closure feasible in rare infant LV-coronary sinus fistula; extends sparse case experience but leaves open multicenter outcome data.
Congenital left ventricle to coronary sinus fistula is a rare entity. We report a case of an infant with prenatal finding of left ventricle to right atrial shunt. The anatomy was defined by multi-modality imaging. Baseline electrocardiogram was notable for a Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern. He underwent successful catheter device closure of the left ventricle to coronary sinus fistula. The patient developed supraventricular tachycardia and underwent successful ablation of the accessory pathway.
