LAD-right ventricular fistula complicating PTCA: another case

K M Marques et al. Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1997 Sep.

Abstract

Coronary perforation caused by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) occurs rarely and most often leads to communication to the pericardial space. We report a case where PTCA caused a coronary artery rupture and fistulization to the right ventricular outflow tract.
