Aortobiventricular fistulas associated with pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta 12 years after patch repair of supravalvular aortic stenosis
Tóm tắt
Fistula formation between the aorta and cardiac chamber is a rare complication of the ascending aortic aneurysm. A 27 year-old man undergoing successful patch aortoplasty for supravalvular aortic stenosis 12 years before admission had a high fever, infectious signs in blood laboratory data, and congestive heart failure. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the aortic root and aortobiventricular fistulas. Detachment of the proximal end of the aortic patch was thought to be the cause of the pseudoaneurysm. Debridement of necrotic tissue surrounding fistulas produced large defects in the anterior wall of the right ventricle, interventricular septum, and ascending aorta. A modified Konno operation effectively reconstructed the outflow tracts of both ventricles and the aorta.
