Abstract
Coronary artery fistulae are rare anomalies often treated percutaneously. New techniques aiding in the percutaneous closure of a giant coronary artery, not previously described, are presented in a case report. These techniques include the use of intravascular ultrasound imaging and the use of electrolytically detachable platinum coils. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2004;61:227β232. Β© 2004 WileyβLiss, Inc.
