A coronary‐bronchial fistula and aneurysmal dilatation of the proximal part of the fistula was successfully closed using an autologous vein graft‐coated stent (Palmaz‐Schatz stent). This is the first report that demonstrates the feasibility of the vein‐coated stent for the treatment of congenital disease. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 46:214–217, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
