A coronary right fistula canalized in a small accessory right atrial chamber.
2007
The coronary artery fistulas are rare congenital anomalies with a very low incidence. These can be symptomatic or asymptomatic because the hemodynamic consequences of the fistula vary and depend on the shunt dimensions. Discordant opinions instead are present in the literature for the defect closing in asymptomatic patients. Here, we describe a patient affected by a coronary right fistula canalized in a small accessory right atrial chamber. During follow-up, we observed a progressive dilatation of the right coronary artery (maximum diameter 10.3 mm) with hemodynamic overload of the right sections.
Fístula aortoentérica secundaria a infección de prótesis aortobifemoral
2002
Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 76 años, intervenido de una obstrucción iliaca bilateral mediante colocación de una prótesis aortobifemoral, que cinco años después presentó dolor en la fosa iliaca izquierda y fiebre en agujas de 39º C. En la exploración física destacaba un abdomen doloroso en la fosa iliaca izquierda con signos de irritación peritoneal. En las pruebas de laboratorio se detectó una leucocitosis con neutrofilia y hemocultivos negativos. La tomografía computadorizada (TC) objetivó la presencia de burbujas de gas alrededor de la prótesis, así como una colección líquida con áreas necróticas en su interior que afectaba a los músculos psoas e iliaco. En la misma exploración, l…
Endovascular treatment of acute bleeding complications in traumatic aortic rupture and aortobronchial fistula.
2001
Objective: Herein we report our experience in placement of endovascular stentgrafts in the descending aorta in patients with acute bleeding complications due to traumatic rupture or aortobronchial fistula. Methods: Six patients (one woman, five men, mean age 47 ^ 19 years) were treated from September 1995 to February 2000 by implantation of endovascular stentgrafts in the descending aorta. Indications included traumatic ruptures of the aortic isthmus (na 3) and aortobronchial fistulas (na 3). All procedures were performed under general anaesthesia. The implants were introduced under fluoroscopic guidance via the aorta (na 1), the iliac (na 4) or femoral (na 2) artery, respectively. Results:…
Strategies for endovascular aortic repair in aortobronchial and aortoesophageal fistulas.
2013
Objective To report our experience of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for acute bleeding originating from the thoracic aorta in patients with aortobronchial fistula (ABF) or aortoesophageal fistula (AEF). Patients and Methods A total of nine patients (three woman) were treated from September 1995 to March 2012 by TEVAR for ABF (n = 5) and AEF (n = 4). The implants (N = 14) were introduced with fluoroscopic guidance via the aorta (n = 1), the iliac (n = 2), or femoral (n = 11) artery, respectively. Results All aortic lesions could be sealed successfully. Perioperative morbidity was 0% in the ABF group and 50% (2 of 4) in the AEF group and no procedure-related morbidity was noted …
