Abstract

We report a case of closure of the coronary artery fistula with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent at the proximal left anterior descending artery along with simultaneous stenting at the stenosed middle segment of the left anterior descending artery. The successful experience proved that this kind of stent is a feasible and safe supplement to catheter-based devices in treating coronary artery fistula, although further evaluation is needed.
