Aorto--left atrial fistula.
A Chinese man, aged 55 years, was admitted to hospital in January 1964, complaining of increasing shortness of breath on exertion, of about two months' duration. He had had some retrosternal chest discomfort but this was never severe, though it increased in severity following exertion. His face was noted to be swollen in the mornings and this swelling decreased towards the end of the day. In th...
متن کاملMechanical Discordance between Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage
During standard transesophageal echocardiographic examinations in sinus rhythm (SR) patients, the left atrial appendage (LAA) is not routinely assessed with Doppler. Despite having a SR, it is still possible to have irregular activity in the LAA. This situation is even more important for SR patients where assessment of the left atrium is often foregone. We describe a case where we encountered t...
متن کاملLeft atrium segmentation for atrial fibrillation ablation
Segmentation of the left atrium is vital for pre-operative assessment of its anatomy in radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) surgery. RFCA is commonly used for treating atrial fibrillation. In this paper we present an semi-automatic approach for segmenting the left atrium and the pulmonary veins from MR angiography (MRA) data sets. We also present an automatic approach for further subdividi...
متن کامل[Transcatheter closure of aorto-left atrial fistula using an Amplatzer device].
Aorto-left atrial fistulas are rare. We describe the case of a patient in whom transcatheter closure of an aorto-left atrial fistula was carried out using an Amplatzer septal occluder. The patient had previously undergone cardiac surgery twice because of a recurrent left atrial myxoma. Closure of this type of fistula using a transcatheter device should be considered when the location and size o...
متن کاملReal-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiographic imaging of an aorto-left atrial fistula.
A 21-year-old man with Marfan syndrome with aortic and mitral mechanical prosthetic valve presented with a type-3 aortic dissection. A successful endovascular aortic repair with graft stent was performed. On the fifth day of admission, he was uneventfully discharged. But ten days later, he represented with dyspnoea, high fever (39.2°C) and chills. He had a 4/6 diastolic murmur at aortic point i...
