FARJAT-PASOS, Julio I. et al. Vieussens’ ring fistula to pulmonary artery: embolization with grandmother-mother-child technique. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2022, vol.92, n.4, pp.541-544.  Epub Dec 09, 2022. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.21000118.

A 53-year-old man with an asymptomatic fistula from the Vieussens ring to the pulmonary artery presented with progressive respiratory distress. Coil embolization of this type of fistula has been described by femoral access. The advanced transradial "grandmother-mother-son” technique for high active support safely allows successful embolization of this type of coronary fistulae.
