Abstract
In the era of catheter intervention, the surgical repair of coronary arteriovenous fistula needs to be free from residual shunt. Intraoperative epicardial 15-MHz echocardiography helps to find the residual shunt after ligation or obliteration of anomalous vessels. Here we report our method of the echo-assisted surgical repair of coronary arteriovenous fistula in 7 adult patients. The method made the operation for coronary arteriovenous fistula free from residual shunt, but care should be taken to the development of new vessels after the operation.
