Herein, we report a man with a huge coronary fistula connecting the left circumflex coronary artery to the right ventricle. During the follow-up, the patient developed progressive symptoms of heart failure nonresponsive to medical treatment. Therefore, an endovascular closure with a vascular plug was successfully done for him. Transcatheter vascular plug occlusion can be considered as an alternative for closure of symptomatic high-flow large coronary artery fistulas in patients with a high risk of surgery and chance of coil dislocation, embolization, or unavailability of proper coils.
