A coronary arterial fistula is a connection between one or more of the coronary arteries and
a cardiac chamber or great vessel. This is a rare defect and usually occurs in isolation. Its …

Objectives: We report short-term findings in 33 patients after transcatheter closure (TCC) of
coronary artery fistulae (CAF) and compare our results with those reported in the recent …

BACKGROUND.: Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare congenital anomaly that can be
complicated by intracardiac shunts, endocarditis, myocardial infarction, or coronary …
