We report a 50-year-old patient with successful percutaneous closure of a large inadvertent surgical aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula (shunt flow: 1.8 L/min). With initial embolization of multiple coils, no lasting occlusion of the large fistula could be achieved. Above that, two coils migrated into the coronary venous system. Following rescue of the migrated coils through a retrograde coronary sinus approach, the fistula was occluded using a detachable balloon. Follow-up angiograms confirmed successful closure of the fistula. In contrast to coil embolization, use of a detachable balloon seems to be the appropriate technique for percutaneous closure of such fistulas.

Although rare, iatrogenic aortocoronary arteriovenous fistulae (ACAVF) occur when a coronary graft is mistakenly anastomosed to an epicardial vein rather than its intended arterial target. Patients may be asymptomatic, demonstrate angina, dyspnea, arrhythmias, syncope, or diminished exercise capacity, and may have wide pulse pressures with evidence of coronary steal. A thorough insight into the disordered anatomy is critical to safely manage a patient for redo cardiac surgery, especially when attempting to arrest the heart.

Background: Aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula (ACAVF) due to iatrogenic bypass grafting to a cardiac vein is an exceedingly rare complication resulting from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. If not identified in a timely fashion, ACAVF has known significant clinical consequences related to left to right shunting and possible residual myocardial ischemia.
Case Presentation: An 82-year-old male with a history of CABG, presented with dyspnea.

Objective: To summarize published case reports of aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula (ACAVF) after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG).
Background: Inadvertent ACAVF is a rare complication following CABG. However, the incidence continues to rise, and its management details and clinical outcomes have not been well described.

Iatrogenic aortocoronary venous fistula arising from anastomosing an aortocoronary graft to a cardiac vein is a rare a complication following coronary artery bypass grafting. A 75-year-old male patient was admitted with recurrent angina accompanied by congestive heart failure six years after surgery. He was diagnosed with an acquired saphenous vein graft-to- cardiac vein fistula.
