Case report: Transcatheter Closure of Aorto-Right Atrial Fistula
This case highlights the role of transcatheter closure in managing post-surgical aorto-right atrial fistulas. Comprehensive imaging and echocardiographic guidance were essential for procedural success. In select patients with high operative risk, percutaneous approaches provide a safe and effective alternative to repeat surgery.
