Percutaneous closure of a coronary fistula with single Amplatzer Vascular Plug II in a five-month-old female: The youngest case report
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare clinical abnormality characterized by a connection between one or more coronary arteries and an adjacent cardiac chamber or vascular structure. Although CAF complications are more common in older children over time, there is still no consensus in terms of trea...
