INTRODUCTION: @entity453 consists of abnormal congenital connections between a coronary artery and cardiac chambers, a coronary vessel or an intrathoracic vessel that can be complicated by intracardiac shunts, @entity884 , @entity583 , or @entity574 . Recent reports have emphasized the efficacy of percutaneous transcatheter techniques as an alternative to surgical closure, but the reported experience is relatively limited. AIM: To assess angiographic outcomes in a series of 20 @entity1 who underwent transcatheter closure of @entity453 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: We evaluated all @entity1 presenting with significant @entity453 and undergoing transcatheter closure with coils and a vascular plug between March 2008 and June 2012. RESULTS: There were 20 @entity1 (14 @entity1 ; mean age: 53   8 years) with @entity453 . @entity292 diameter ranged from 4 to 12 mm; an average of three coils were used in the percutaneous procedure. Post-deployment angiograms demonstrated @entity432 in all @entity1 . The @entity1 were followed up for 4   1.6 years. The control coronary computed tomographic angiography was performed in the sixth month and no @entity1 had recanalization of the embolized vessel. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous closure of @entity453 is a safe and effective treatment modality.
