چکیده

We present the case of a 54-year-old male patient diagnosed with a right upper lobe lung cancer and was referred for resection. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan showed a prominent vascular structure in the right lung, suspicious for vascular malformation. A computed tomography angiography was done, demonstrating an intercostobronchial trunk-pulmonary artery fistula. There was also non-tapering dilated wandering pulmonary artery coursing through the right lower lung without any abnormal connection with pulmonary veins and were supplying normal lung parenchyma. Amplatzer vascular plugs were used for the treatment of the intercostobronchial trunk-pulmonary artery fistula. Our case highlights these very rare vascular anomalies, and their management.

Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Surgical Retrieval of Embolized Amplatzer Device and Closure of Coronary–cameral Fistula

Congenital coronary artery fistula is an uncommon anomaly. Transcatheter coil embolization or Amplatzer vascular plug device closure of fistula is often done in symptomatic patients with safe accessibility to the feeding coronary artery. Embolization of Amplatzer vascular plug device is rare. We report an 11-year-old male child who presented to us with increasing shortness of breath for 7 years...

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 ...

Transcatheter Amplatzer Vascular Plug Closure of Fistula between Right Pulmonary Artery and Left Atrium

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 ...
