A larger fistula diameters and the presence of coronary-cameral fistulas are independent risk factors for the occurrence of aneurysms in patients with CAFs. The outcomes of transcatheter closure are comparable for CAFs patients with and without aneurysm, though post-closure thrombosis within the fistula appears to be more common in patients with aneurysm.
