Coronary AV Fistula
My mother has Coronary AV Fistula originating from left main coronary artery to Lcx to Coronary sinus opening in RA. Size 17mm to 26mm in diameter, Coronary Sinus Atrium 14mm. Severe Left to right shunt. Severe MR (Function) and Severe RAH and TR.
She recently underwent a procedure wherein the fistula was attempted to be closed with coils. However, it did not go as per plans and she now has some coils prolapsing into RA. The doctor has advised us Surgery now with the second option of attempting to place an AVP II plug into the proximal fistula with pinning of the coils in the IVC with a stent.
We are now not sure of the best possible route and want to take your opinion in this
