SPLENIC ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA: A RARE LESION CAUSING BLEEDING ESOPHAGEAL VARICES
We report a case of a 40 year old man with portal hypertension caused by a splenic arteriovenous fistula that was diagnosed at laparotomy. He presented with bleeding esophageal varices and was initially treated by sclerotherapy. At laparotomy, portal pressure was 40 cmH20 but fell to 20 cm H20 after the fistula was treated with splenectomy. All symptoms disappeared shortly after operation ...
متن کاملA Case of Stent Graft Infection Coupled With Aorto-Esophageal Fistula Following Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair in a Complex Patient
The incidence of peri-stent graft infection (PGI) following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is low, but the associated mortality rates are extremely high. The diagnosis of this complication can be difficult due to nonspecific symptoms. Here, we report a case of PGI combined with an aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography ...
متن کاملEmergent endovascular stent grafting for saccular arch aneurysm complicated by aorto-esophageal fistula.
Aneurysms of aortic arch are rare but amenable to endovascular therapy. Arch aneurysm presenting with aorto-esophageal fistula and hematemesis is a feared, but relatively rare complication. The extrapolation of the safety and rapidity of emergent endovascular repair for bleeding arch aneurysms has been infrequently reported. A bovine arch anatomy confers distinct advantages for endovascular the...
متن کاملAorto-Esophageal Fistula After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair: Successful Open Treatment.
We present the case of a 56-year-old patient suffering from an aorto-esophageal fistula after complex treatment of acute Type A dissection including thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of the descending aorta. Open surgical descending replacement using a pericardial patch, as well as esophagectomy, was performed. After a long and complicated hospital stay, the patient finally recovered ...
متن کاملAorto-right artrial fistula: a rare complication of aortic dissection.
We describe the successful surgical repair of an acute aortic dissection that had caused an aorto-right atrial fistula in a 67-year-old man. The patient was admitted to the hospital on an emergency basis because of severe heart failure. The diagnosis of acute aortic dissection with rupture into the right atrium was confirmed by use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, although ru...
