Starfish-assisted off-pump obliteration of massive coronary arteriovenous fistulae.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital heart disease. A 71-year-old woman suffered from heart failure due to massive coronary arteriovenous fistulae from the right coronary artery and left circumflex artery to the coronary sinus. Using the off-pump technique, we successfully performed Starfish-assisted obliteration of the fistulae. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography was used to confirm the complete elimination of the abnormal shunt flow.
