Post-Traumatic Aortic Arch Aneurysm Complicated by Aorto-Pulmonary Fistula.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rare case of presumed post-traumatic aortic arch aneurysm complicated by an aorto-pulmonary artery fistula. Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic pulmonary angiography completed by dynamic cardiac magnetic resonance imaging allowed adequate preoperative visualization of an 8-mm large fistula between the aneurysm and the left pulmonary artery. The patient underwent successful total aortic arch replacement and closure of the fistula using a patch.

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 کاملAn Aortoenteric Fistula Arising after Endovascular Management of a Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated with a Psoas Abscess
Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...
