A persistent right superior vena following extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection was occluded using a 0.052" Gianturco coil combined with a 3 Fr biopsy forceps. Controlled delivery of a 0.052" Gianturco coil is a safe and effective procedure to occlude a large anomalous vessel other than a large persistent arterial duct.

In an 11-year old boy with a large coronary arteriovenous fistula between the left coronary artery and the right atrium, we achieved successful closure using a 10-8 Amplatzer Duct Occluder introduced from the right internal jugular vein. Angiography 6 weeks later showed complete occlusion of the fistula, with normal opacification of the left coronary arterial system. This technique may be used as an alternative to coils and surgery in selected patients.
