Abstract Background Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a congenital anomaly of the coronaries that can lead to significant intracardiac shunting and myocardial ischaemia. Case summary We describe the case of a 15-year-old male with an incidentally documented precordial cardiac murmur. An evidently dilated coronary sinus (CS) on transthoracic echocardiography prompted further investigation. A computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a large CAF from the left circumflex coronary artery to the CS. No other structural heart defects were detected. A haemodynamically significant intracardiac shunt was confirmed during cardiac catheterization, and it was decided to close the fistula. This was successfully performed using a ventricular septal defect (VSD) occluder (Konar 10-8, Lifetech Scientific) that was deployed through a 6 Fr right coronary guiding catheter. A partial thrombotic occlusion of the CS behind the closure device was noted during follow-up which led to anticoagulation in a higher target INR range and concomitant start of low dose carbasalate calcium to reduce further retrograde thrombus extension. Patient is doing well at over 1 year of follow-up, and no further thrombotic extension into the CS was seen on a recent CT. Discussion This report illustrates the diagnostic workup and a percutaneous treatment strategy of a CAF using a VSD occluder. We also describe a not previously reported complication, thrombotic CS occlusion. Improving transcatheter techniques and marketing of novel devices with a broad spectrum of applications can offer new opportunities for treating CAF and avoiding surgical correction often involving cardiopulmonary bypass, reserving this option for patients with complex anatomy or failed transcatheter closure.

Defect Repair

Bleeding can occur as a sequela to cardiac surgery. Surgical products—such as conventional sutures and clips, and somewhat less conventional sealants—have been developed to prevent this event. Among these, CoSeal is a sealant used at our institution; here we report the cases of 2 patients in whom CoSeal was used successfully as either a supplement or an alternative to suture repair. This sealant was found to be useful in attaining hemostasis both in high-pressure ventricular repair and in the rupture of a friable coronary sinus adjacent to vital structures (in this instance, a left circumflex coronary artery).
