A 51-year-old patient with progressive right heart dysfunction was found to have a large calcified right atrial mass on echocardiography. As part of the work up for an intracardiac mass he had a cardiac computed tomogram which detailed a large coronary cameral fistula from the circumflex coronary artery to the right atrium associated with a spherical calcific pseudo-aneurysmal sac. Transcatheter occlusion of the exit point into the atrium with a vascular plug was performed directly from a right atrial approach without the need for an arteriovenous wire loop. This case details a unique presentation of a coronary cameral fistula to an unusual position within the right atrium which facilitated the rare ability to occlude the fistula from a venous approach without creating an arteriovenous wire rail.
