Congenital fistula between the aorta and left atrium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A child in whom abnormal vessels connected the descending thoracic aorta and the left atrium is described. This is a previously unreported congenital malformation. Clinically this condition differs from the more common aorto-cardiac fistulas in that the continuous murmur was better heard posteriorly as well as in the right parasternal area. Ligation of the aberrant vessels abolished the murmur.

Arteriovenous fistula between descending aorta and left inferior pulmonary vein: Closure with vascular plugs.
Echocardiography revealed systemic artery to pulmonary venous fistula, a rare vascular anomaly, in a 20-month-old girl, and multislice computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed to rule out congenital heart disease. Normal bronchial connection and pulmonary vasculature were observed in the lung. The fistula drained through the left inferior pulmonary vein to the left atrium leading to ...
متن کامل[Fistula between aorta and left atrium due to bacterial endocarditis in a patient with biological aortic valve - a case report].
Bacterial endocarditis of the aortic valve may lead to aortic regurgitation, or the aortic wall may become affected with perforation into the right atrium, right ventricle, or left ventricle. Perforation from the aorta into the left atrium forming an aorto-left atrial fistula is rare, and diagnosis is difficult because it closely mimics the features of mitral incompetence (Kay et al., 1959). Th...

A fistula between the pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a rare form of congenital heart disease, less than one hundred cases having been described in the past. This malformation was commonly treated by surgical ligation of the fistula via thoracotomy. Only few cases have been reported treated successfully by transcatheter closure. Herein, we report an experience on a 6-year-old girl with ...

No jugular distention was seen. Cardiac auscultation revealed a continuous murmur best heard at ...
