ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 51-year-old man who presented with worsening exertional chest pain in whom subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention resulted in a coronary arteriovenous fistula. Fortunately, the patient was stable and coronary angiography revealed resolution of the fistula 20 minutes later. This case study emphasizes the management of iatrogenic coronary perforations, depending on the type and severity of perforation, which generally involves initial conservative management.
