Abstract

Pre-operative optimization of cardiovascular conditions in patients awaiting renal transplantation significantly improves post-transplantation cardiac complications. We describe a case of symptomatic coronary fistula treated with percutaneous coil embolization in a young adult awaiting renal transplantation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
