Transcatheter Amplatzer Vascular Plug Closure of Fistula between Right Pulmonary Artery and Left Atrium
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fistula between the pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a rare form of congenital heart disease, less than one hundred cases having been described in the past. This malformation was commonly treated by surgical ligation of the fistula via thoracotomy. Only few cases have been reported treated successfully by transcatheter closure. Herein, we report an experience on a 6-year-old girl with initial manifestation of revealed cyanosis and treated with an Amplatzer vascular plug to block the communication. Clinical manifestations and treatment on pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula also have been reviewed in this report.

Congenital coronary artery fistula is an uncommon anomaly. Transcatheter coil embolization or Amplatzer vascular plug device closure of fistula is often done in symptomatic patients with safe accessibility to the feeding coronary artery. Embolization of Amplatzer vascular plug device is rare. We report an 11-year-old male child who presented to us with increasing shortness of breath for 7 years...

BACKGROUND Transcatheter closure of coronary artery fistulas has emerged as a successful alternative to surgery. We describe various techniques and short-term findings in 15 patients who were taken up for transcatheter closure of these fistulas. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen patients (aged 2-55 years; 12 males) with coronary artery fistulas underwent percutaneous transcatheter closure between J...
متن کاملCoronary fistula to the right atrium: a challenge for the interventional cardiologist.
Congenital coronary fistulas are rare conditions, frequently diagnosed as an incidental finding when a patient is referred for cardiac surgery for another reason. Treatment can be conservative, surgical or more recently through transcatheter closure, depending on local experience and the morphology of the fistula. The authors present the case of a pediatric patient with a large coronary artery ...

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is an anomaly in which the pulmonary veins are directly connected to one of the systemic veins or drain into the right atrium. Management of pulmonary hypertension after the total correction of this congenital cardiac anomaly is very important. Unligation of the vertical vein in the supracardiac type of this anomaly can be a draining pathway f...
