Abstract

Percutaneous transcatheter closure technique of a coronary artery fistula with a coil was performed in a 32-year-old man who had stable angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia in thalium myocard scintigraphy. Complete closure of the fistula without any complications was confirmed by angiography after the procedure. Angina pectoris disappeared and thalium scintigraphy was normal after the transcatheter embolization of fistula.
