A femoral arteriovenous fistula was discovered in a 17‐mo‐old child with congenital heart disease and prior femoral cardiac catheterization. The fistulous connection was clearly visible by angiography with vein compression, and the fistula was closed percutaneously using a Gianturco coil. Cathet. Cardiovasc.
