Traumatic aortic dissection and coronary fistula treated with transcatheter management

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2007 Dec 1;70(7):1013-7. doi: 10.1002/ccd.21259.

Abstract

An adolescent male presented with a dissection of the thoracic aorta and a left anterior descending coronary artery to right ventricular fistula following a road traffic accident. Authors report the management of this patient using a transcatheter approach for both these arterial issues, with stenting to the thoracic aorta and coil embolization of the coronary artery to right ventricular fistula as a staged procedure, along with a brief review of the literature on traumatic arterial injuries.
