Abstract
The Perma-Flow graft used in bypass surgery achieves more complete revascul arization when paucity of native conduits exists. We report a coronary arte ry to superior vena cava fistula as a complication of this graft, leading t o severe right heart failure. The fistula was successfully occluded percuta neously, improving the patient's clinical situation. Cathet Cardiovasc. Int ervent 47:191-193, 1999. (C) 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
