Bioptome-assisted coil occlusion of coronary artery fistula

Indian Heart J. 2002 Mar-Apr;54(2):189-92.

Abstract

We describe a novel technique that allows controlled and precise delivery of single or multiple coils simultaneously for occlusion of a coronary artery fistula using a bioptome passed via a long sheath positioned at the distal end of the fistula. The fistula was balloon occluded distal to the take-off of the native branches before, during and after coil delivery in two patients.
