Key result
IVUS-guided percutaneous closure with detachable platinum coils successfully treats a giant coronary artery fistula.
Case Report (n=1)
Intravascular ultrasound and electrolytically detachable platinum coils represent novel techniques for the percutaneous closure of giant coronary artery fistulae.
May aid giant coronary fistula closure; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider adoption.
Coronary artery fistulae are rare anomalies often treated percutaneously. New techniques aiding in the percutaneous closure of a giant coronary artery, not previously described, are presented in a case report. These techniques include the use of intravascular ultrasound imaging and the use of electrolytically detachable platinum coils. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2004;61:227–232.

Goldberg et al. (2004) conducted a case report in Coronary artery fistulae (n=1). Percutaneous closure using intravascular ultrasound imaging and electrolytically detachable platinum coils was evaluated. Percutaneous closure of a giant coronary artery fistula was described using intravascular ultrasound imaging and electrolytically detachable platinum coils.
