Congenital aorto-pulmonary fistula combined with persistent ductus arteriosus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Congenital aorto-pulmonary fistula is a relatively uncommon malformation (Dadds and Hoyle, 1949; Cooley, McNamara, and Latson, 1957; Neill and Mounsey, 1958; Parker et al., 1963) and for it to be accompanied by another aorto-pulmonary shunt through a persistent ductus arteriosus must be distinctively rare (Straus, Lev, and Cassels, 1964). In this description of two children with the unsuspected combination of these defects, the diagnostic and therapeutic problems are presented.

E-type prostaglandins: a new emergency therapy for certain cyanotic congenital heart malformations.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been used to maintain patency of the ductus arteriosus in four neonates with cyanotic congenital heart disease due to obstructive right heart malformations. PGE2 was infused prior to surgery, and in three patients, during surgery until a satisfactory aorto-pulmonary shunt was established. PGE2 produced consistently an immediate and persistent rise in arterial oxygen ...

Coronary artery anomalies include the anomalies of origin, termination, and structure or course. Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are classified as the anomalies of termination and are considered a major congenital anomaly and are in the subgroup of acyanotic heart disease.1 • Atrial septal defect • Ventricular septal defect • Patent ductus arteriosus • Aortic stenosis • Pulmonary stenosis • Par...
متن کاملPatent ductus arteriosus in a lamb: A case report
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent patency of a vessel normally present in the fetus that connects the pulmonary arterial system to the aorta. The ductus arteriosus fails to close at birth when breathing commences and placental blood circulation is removed. Closure of the ductus arteriosus arises in response to decline pulmonary vascular resistance and increased systemic vascular re...
متن کاملAn unusual cause of a continuous murmur simulating persistent ductus arteriosus and associated with other congenital cardiac defects.
A continuous murmur like that of a persistent ductus arteriosus produced by a stenosed branch of a pulmonary artery with a post-stenotic dilatation is presented in the following case. Other abnormalities included a hypoplastic left lung, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and an absent left pulmonary artery. The literature on congenital heart disease contains increasing numbers of...
متن کاملDetection of patent ductus arteriosus with intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in a patient undergoing closure of coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula
Background Coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula is an unusual vascular anomaly, and the shunt ratio of this fistula is usually small. Case presentation We report anesthetic management of a 55-year-old female with annuloaortic ectasia, aortic valve regurgitation, and coronary artery to pulmonary artery fistula undergoing radical repair. We calculated the left-to-right shunt ratio after ...
