occlusion of viable distal coronary artery branches. Most interventionalists advocate clear angio­graphic evidence of the absence of any coronary branches or preferably balloon occlusion at the site and observation for any ECG ST-segment evidence of ischemia. Most often, stable distal occlusion is best achieved by creating a wire rail from the aorta through the coronary artery and then through the drainage site that can be snared from a venous approach. The AV rail will then allow placement of a delivery sheath from the venous side and deliver an obstructive plug in the most distal portion of the communicating coronary artery.

Multiple microcoils were placed in the distal coronary communications with a microcatheter delivery system. Standard Gianturco coils (Cook-Bloomington, IN), specialized Interlock de­tachable fibered 0.0350 or 0.0180 platinum coils (Boston Scientific – Marlborough, MA), or Azur detachable hydrocoils (Terumo-Somerset, NJ) are options for coil embolization through the

microcatheter systems (Figs. 27.7 to 27.9). Similar precautions must be made to avoid excessive coil size or length, which may result in proximal displacement of some of the coil material. There are similar concerns for proximal clot progress and potential for myocardial infarction.
Procedural Steps
The procedure is typically performed under conscious sedation unless the anatomy is complex and TEE guidance is needed. Here we describe an example procedure using an AV rail to close a giant RCA-to-CS fistula.
Femoral arterial and venous access should be established with 7 to 10F sheaths, depending on
vascular plug size. Heparin should be administered to maintain activated clotting time (ACT) 300 s, typically starting with a bolus of 100 units/kg. If right heart catheterization has not been recently performed, this is the first step and will confirm the degree of shunt.
The coronary artery should be selectively engaged with an appropriate catheter (e.g., JR4 for
RCA, JL4 for left system). Selective angiography may be performed by hand injection in the case of smaller arteries. For giant coronary arteries, a pigtail catheter introduced into the coronary artery may be used with a pump injector to enable sufficient opacification. Selective angiography is used to confirm the number and location of drainage sites and the location of any proximal branches of the coronary artery.

Potential Complications of Coronary Fistula Closure
Overall, when performed in an experienced center, the rates of complications for percutaneous closure of coronary fistulae is low. Risks include loss of side branches or main branches leading to myocardial ischemia, vessel dissection or perforation, and device embolization. Although data are limited, the rates of these complications are likely in the region of 1%. Late myocardial ischemia due to migration of coils or thrombus is possible and has been described.
The major complication is recanalization (20% at follow-up angiography at 1 to 2 years). These rates are similar to those after surgical ligation.
Outcomes and Potential Complications
Clinical response to defect closure reflects the clinical impact of the lesion going into the proce­dure. The greater the attributable symptoms, the greater the improvement. Patients who were symptomatic at rest or with little exertion will usually notice some improvement within a day of closure. As the heart remodels after closure, there is often some additional improvement by 1 month. Patients who initially note improvement followed by return of their symptoms should be evaluated for defect recurrence.
For coronary fistulae, there are specific concerns for perioperative or postoperative myocardial infarction. usually with Coumadin and aspirin. The major concern relates to persistent dilation of the feeding coronary artery with sluggish flow prone to thrombosis, as illustrated in Fig. 27.6. There are no specific guidelines for the duration of anticoagulation but likely as long as the coronary remains dilated with sluggish flow. However, despite these efforts, thrombosis of nearby coronary vessels and infarction may occur. Fistulae originating proximal to the main segment of the coronary artery may be less prone to this complication since the dilated segment may regress as in Fig. 27.2.
We typically repeat a TTE at 1 month and 1 year.

Therefore many interventionalists have advised postoperative anticoagulant treatment,
Recommended follow-up after uncomplicated closure is 1 month, 6 months, and then 12 months.

Abstract: Congenital fistulae covers a wide spectrum of vascular disorder including arteriove­nous malformations and venovenous communications. This chapter primarily deals with the diagnosis and management of coronary arterial malformations and specifically fistulae. However the catheter intervention techniques described can also be applied to extra-cardiac malforma­tions as well. We detail both antegrade and retrograde approaches to interventions techniques. We discussed the use of various coils and plugs for occlusion of fistulae. We noted concerns for the long term observation of such fistulae. Some may require anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy to prevent coronary artery thrombosis due to sluggish flow and clotting in markedly dilated coronary arteries.

Pulmonary Valve Interventions: Valvuloplasty and Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement
Allison K. Cabalka
Pulmonary Valvuloplasty
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary valve stenosis (PS) is a common form of congenital heart disease that may present at any age, but often in infancy or early childhood in its more severe forms. The adult patient with PS tends to have more clinical symptoms than a child with a similar degree of PS; gradients can be progressive, often due to acquired right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) infundibular muscle hypertrophy. The patient with an interatrial communication (patent foramen ovale/atrial septal defect [PFO/ASD]) may experience a right-to-left shunt as right ventricular hypertrophy pro­gresses and compliance decreases. Percutaneous pulmonary balloon angioplasty (PBA) has been performed safely and effectively since 1982 with low morbidity and mortality. Acute success rates for PBA are reported to be between 80% and 90%, with potential for ongoing reduction in gradi­ent due to spontaneous resolution of infundibular hypertrophy. However, the patient may require beta-blocker therapy as RVOT obstruction resolves.
Indications for Intervention
Indications for intervention typically include the following: (1) pulmonary valve mean gradient by Doppler includes a normal pulmonary valve annulus with thin, doming pulmonary valve leaflets, and post­stenotic main pulmonary artery dilation. A thickened, dysplastic pulmonary valve with hypoplas­tic annulus and/or no evidence of main pulmonary artery dilation is much less likely to respond favorably to PBA, although some degree of reduction in valve gradient may provide symptomatic relief in the adult.

AHA Recommendations
In adults with moderate or severe valvular pulmonary stenosis
and otherwise unexplained symptoms of heart failure, cyanosis from interatrial right-to-left communication, and/or exercise intolerance, balloon valvuloplasty is recommended
In asymptomatic adults with severe valvular pulmonary stenosis,
intervention is reasonable

Preprocedural Imaging
Transthoracic echo is usually sufficient for diagnosis and can be reliable in determining the pul­monary valve gradient (mean Doppler gradient typically correlates best with peak-to-peak systolic gradient measured at cardiac catheterization). The nature of the pulmonary valve leaflets should be determined (i.e., thickened, dysplastic). The pulmonary valve annulus should be evaluated care­fully and measured to provide guidance in balloon selection. In the adult patient with challenging acoustic windows, transesophageal echo or computed tomography can be considered (particularly to evaluate infundibular anatomy, anatomy of the main pulmonary artery, or pulmonary branch arteries if other stenotic lesions are suspected).
Basic Procedure
Standard right heart catheterization is performed to document the pulmonary valve gradient. The use of two femoral venous sheaths allows simultaneous right ventricular (RV) and pulmo­nary artery (PA) pressure measurement, in addition to providing immediate postvalvuloplasty RV systolic pressure assessment if a single-balloon dilation is planned. Initial RV angiogram confirms the anatomy of the RVOT, and a carefully calibrated measurement of the pulmonary annulus should be performed at the hinge point of the valve leaflets (also correlating with the annulus as measured by echocardiography). Straight lateral plane imaging is most accurate for annulus measurement (Fig. 28.1). A stiff 0.0350 exchange wire is positioned deep within the PA over which the balloon can be stabilized in the annulus. For the single-balloon technique, a balloon approximately 120% of the pulmonary annulus is chosen (Fig. 28.2A); for a double­balloon angioplasty, the combined diameters of the two balloons should be 1.5 to 1.7 times the annulus diameter (see Fig. 28.2B). Alternatively, for the adult patient, the Inoue balloon may be used for pulmonary valve dilation, again with a diameter 120% of the annulus. Controlled balloon inflation should allow positioning within the leaflets; once stable, full inflation can be performed. Double balloons may be more difficult to stabilize, and rarely is pacing needed for stabilization. A pressure-monitored inflation device should be used—high-pressure balloons are not needed. Careful pullback with an end-hole catheter after PBA may demonstrate the residual gradient below the valve due to the RVOT muscle. A postdilation RV angiogram should be performed and may reveal the typical appearance of subvalvular obstruction after successful balloon valvuloplasty (Fig. 28.3). Tips:
1. Care to achieve a stable, deep wire position will be beneficial for balloon stabilization
during valvuloplasty.
2. If there is significant resistance when advancing the valvuloplasty balloon through the
tricuspid valve, one should consider potential wire entrapment within the tricuspid chordal apparatus. In this situation the existing guidewire should be removed and the tricuspid valve recrossed, preferably with a balloon-tipped catheter (balloon inflated) to establish a different wire position.
3. Balloon stability during inflation may be challenging. Adequate forward pressure on both
the balloon and wire is necessary, but if the balloon starts to “milk” forward through the valve, additional forward pressure on the wire can be used to stabilize balloon position. Longer balloons are recommended (4.0 cm).
Postprocedure
Initial noninvasive echocardiography should be performed to evaluate the pulmonary valve gradient, RVOT infundibular gradient, and degree of pulmonary regurgitation. As noted,

RVOT infundibular gradients typically subside over time, and patients may be treated with beta-blocker therapy. Approximately 10% of patients require additional treatment if the initial valvuloplasty is successful. Pulmonary regurgitation is usually well tolerated. The long-term outcome is very good.
Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement
BACKGROUND
RVOT intervention is common in the surgical treatment of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), such as those with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), pulmonary valve atresia/ventricular septal defect, truncus arteriosus, and transposition of the great arteries. In addition, patients who have

undergone RVOT conduit placement, such as the Ross procedure, often require later RVOT conduit revision. Inevitably, conduit failure, valve deterioration (stenosis and/or insufficiency), or progressive pulmonary insufficiency in the setting of transannular patch therapy will drive the need for pulmonary valve insertion. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) is ap­pealing in patients with CHD, as many have been subjected to more than one median sternotomy procedure, and the overall goal in approaching patients with complex CHD is to avoid multiple redo median sternotomies. TPVR therapy is now an important part of intervention for patients with both congenital and acquired pulmonary valve dysfunction, and this type of intervention should be performed by a pediatric interventional specialist or as part of a multidisciplinary structural heart team that includes an experienced pediatric congenital interventionalist.
