Transcatheter Closure of Left Ventricle to Coronary Sinus Fistula Post-MVR and Septal Myectomy.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the case of a patient who developed refractory heart failure due to a fistula from the left ventricle to the coronary sinus that was unintentionally created after a surgical myectomy and mitral valve replacement. Advanced image guidance with a pre-procedure 3-dimensional physical model and intraprocedure echocardiography fusion facilitated transcatheter plugging of the shunt with symptom resolution. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
