Aorto-right ventricular fistula is a very rare complication of aortic dissection. We report a case of acute aortic dissection extending into the right ventricle as documented by echocardiography. The patient survived after successful surgical repair.

Detecting aorto-ureteric fistula by 99mTc-Labeled Red Blood Cell SPECT

A 68-year-old male, known case of abdominal aortic dissection and recent aortic stent insertion, presented with gross hematuria. The urologists suspected aoro-ureteric fistula and performed open surgery (ureterolysis). Tc-99m labeled red blood cell (99mTc-RBC) scintigraphy was ordered to confirm the diagnosis and localize the possible aorto-ureteric fisula, Considering sustained gros...

I read with great interest the paper by Pagni et al. concerning the management of a 69-year old female patient with acute type A aortic dissection complicated by a fistula to the right atrium [1]. This article has two interesting features that could be of use to all of us when faced with a similar ...

Infective endocarditis complicated by aortic dissection and aorto-right ventricular fistula.

Aorto-Cutaneous Fistula and False Aneurysm of the Ascending Aorta Five Years after its Prosthetic Replacement for Stanford Type A Acute Aortic Dissection.

Aorto-cutaneous fistula and false aneurysm of the ascending aorta in patients who previously underwent Stanford Type A acute aortic dissection are rare and severe complications. Surgical correction remains a demanding challenge. In a case of false aneurysm rupture during redo sternotomy, selective cannulation of the right axillary and left carotid arteries allowed an efficient method of cerebra...
