Retrograde transcatheter closure of large coronary fistulas with the Amplatzer vascular plug in children

We report a retrograde approach for the successful closure of large left coronary artery fistulas in the cases of two children using the Amplatzer vascular plug. This method simplified the procedure by eliminating the need for making an arteriovenous loop.
