Congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare and asymptomatic, although symptomatic CAFs should be treated with percutaneous intervention or surgery. A 62-year-old woman developed bilateral coronary-to-pulmonary artery fistulas resulting in exertional chest pain. We herein report the successful use of trans-catheter closure of a coronary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula, which lead to the coronary steal phenomenon, using an Amplatzer vascular plug with the trans-radial approach. After the procedure, the patient remained asymptomatic.

Background: Congenital coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistulas (CPAFs) are extremely rare congenital vascular malformations.
Purpose: To give a practical approach and consider technical challenges and pitfalls for endovascular embolization of CPAF.
Material And Methods: Anatomic, technical, and pathophysiologic considerations are given and demonstrated for antegrade and retrograde endovascular embolization of CPAF.

Anomalous left coronary artery to pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a leading cause of pediatric myocardial ischemia. This paper presents a case of a young man presenting with ventricular tachycardia storm 18 years after ALCAPA repair. Clinicians should recognize the risk of ventricular tachycardia in this patient population.

A 60-year-old man with hypercholesterolemia and hypertension presented with acute coronary syndrome (SCA). The ECG showed lateral ischemia (T-wave inversion in V4-V6, D1 and aVL) and echocardiography showed normal left ventricular wall motion. Coronary angiography showed critical atherosclerotic lesions in the distal part of the left circumflex artery (LCx, culprit lesion), chronic total occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA), significant but not critical stenosis in the middle part of left anterior descending artery (LAD), and a coronary artery to pulmonary artery (PA) fistula originating from the proximal part of the LAD and emptying into the PA via a coronary saccular aneurysm (12 x 12 x 10 mm).

Unlabelled: A 19-year-old female presented with hemoptysis. Computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography revealed aberrant vessels from descending thoracic aorta, draining into pulmonary veins (left-to-left shunt). She was managed by transcatheter embolization of the aberrant vessels using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) with balloon occlusion.
