Abstract :
Traumatic vessel perforation is a potential complication of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary artery
intervention (PCI). A rare consequence of this complication is a coronary-cameral fistula. The management of this condition is
not well elucidated. Herein, we present such a case of symptomatic left anterior descending to the right ventricle (LAD-RV)
fistula which was treated with coil embolization.
