Abstract

A congenital coronary fistula is a rare defect. Many congenital fistulas drain into the pulmonary artery and may be an incidental finding; however, some fistulas can cause a coronary ‘steal’ phenomenon resulting in angina. The transcatheter closure of coronary fistulas is an accepted, effective, and safe alternative to surgery in adults. In comparison, left main coronary artery (LMCA) dissection is rare and can lead to life-threatening complications during percutaneous coronary intervention. The optimal treatment for patients with LMCA dissection during catheter-based procedures is uncertain. Some studies suggest that bail-out LMCA stenting provides good acute and long-term results. Here, we present a case of LMCA dissection during the transcatheter coil closure of multiple congenital coronary fistulas with subsequent successful stent implantation in the LMCA.
