Abstract

We report the case of a 3 year old girl with a congenital right coronary artery-right ventricle fistula demonstrated by two dimensional echocardiography with color-flow Doppler and cardiac catheterization and angiography. The treatment was percutaneous transcatheter embolization by two detachable coils (7 mm x 20 cm and 6 mm x 20 cm) with successful complete occlusion. There were no complications.
