Abstract

We present the case of a 21-year-old female with a complex right coronary sinus of valsalva to right atrial fistulae. 3D printing of the fistulae and surrounding anatomy was beneficial in assessment of the anatomy and perioperative planning. Successful percutaneous closure was achieved.

Keywords: AV fistula/AVM; CLAV-closure; FIST-fistula; ICT-imaging; electron beam CT/multidetector CT; shunts.
