Abstract
A coronary-bronchial fistula and aneurysmal dilatation of the proximal part of the fistula was successfully closed using an autologous Vein graft-coat ed stent (Palmaz-Schatz stent). This is the first report that demonstrates the feasibility of the vein-coated stent for the treatment of congenital di sease. (C) 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
