Role of Echocardiography in the Diagnosis of Aorto-Right Ventricular Fistula: A Rare Complication of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Successfully Closed by Bovine Pericardial Patch.

ABSTRACT: Highlights•AoRV fistula is a rare complication of prosthetic aortic valve replacement.•A high index of suspicion is required for detection.•Postprocedural follow-up with echocardiography is key to early diagnosis.•Repair is eventually required if cardiac decompensation ensues.

Aorto-right ventricular fistula: a rare complication of Abiotrophia Endocarditis.

Project description:A 41-year-old African male presented with worsening dyspnea and cachexia concerning for congestive heart failure. Transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a large mass attached to the aortic valve leaflet, mass attached to the flail anterior mitral valve leaflet, severe pulmonary hypertension and dilatation of the aortic root along with fistula between the right coronary aortic cusp and the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract. Blood cultures grew Abiotrophia Defectiva (AD) sensitive to vancomycin. Patient underwent emergent surgical closure of aorto RV fistula and aortic root replacement along with pulmonary and mitral valve replacement. Endocarditis caused by AD has been reported to result in heart failure, septic embolization and destruction of the valve despite use of appropriate antibiotics. To our knowledge, this is the only case of AD endocarditis without any identified entrance route; requiring replacement of pulmonary, mitral and aortic valve due to extensive valvular damage and large vegetations.

Acquired Aorto-Right Ventricular Fistula following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Project description:Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) techniques are rapidly evolving, and results of published trials suggest that TAVR is emerging as the standard of care in certain patient subsets and a viable alternative to surgery in others. As TAVR is a relatively new procedure and continues to gain its acceptance, rare procedural complications will continue to appear. Our case is about an 89-year-old male with extensive past medical history who presented with progressive exertional dyspnea and angina secondary to severe aortic stenosis. Patient got TAVR and his postoperative course was complicated by complete heart block, aorto-RV fistula, and ventricular septal defect (VSD) formation as a complication of TAVR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third reported case of aorto-RV fistula following TAVR as a procedural complication but the first one to show three complications all together in one patient.

Aorto-right pulmonary venous fistula after mitral valve replacement for prosthetic mitral valve infective endocarditis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAorto-cavitary fistula is a rare condition, and the most common underlying aetiology is infective endocarditis (IE) of the native or the prosthetic aortic valve. We report a case of aorto-right inferior pulmonary venous fistula following redo mitral valve replacement (MVR) for prosthetic mitral valve IE.Case summaryA 74-year-old woman underwent urgent redo MVR for prosthetic mitral valve IE. The post-operative course was complicated with heart failure and mediastinal haematoma compressing the left atrium. The haematoma was surgically removed and laceration of the left atrial wall was suture ligated; this was attributed to the surgical trauma dissection of the adhesive tissues. One-week post-operatively, a continuous murmur emerged, which prompted an evaluation of the left to right shunt. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an echolucent area posterior to the aorta, with continuous flow on colour Doppler. Three-dimensional computed tomography showed a fistula between the aorta and the right inferior pulmonary vein. There was a high risk involved in surgical management; therefore, she was managed medically. Fortunately, the continuous murmur and echolucent space disappeared after 6 months. The fistula was considered to be obstructed by spontaneous thrombus formation in the narrowed segment of the fistula tract.DiscussionThe cause of fistula was attributed to possible surgical trauma in the presence of infection. The present case was unique, as it showed spontaneous healing of an aorto-cavitary fistula, which is very rare. The patient was alive with good health status, 6?years after the MVR.

Aorto-right Ventricular Fistula Following Percutaneous Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:An 88-year-old woman with a prior history of aortic stenosis and history of valvuloplasty presented with worsening symptoms of heart failure and dizziness. She underwent successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) without complications. Follow-up echocardiograms revealed a small fistula connecting aorta to the right ventricle. The patient was initially asymptomatic but 3 months later developed overload of the right ventricle and heart failure and chose to continue medical therapy. She died of progressive heart failure at 9 months from onset of fistula. Aorto-right ventricular fistula is a rare complication of TAVR with only four cases reported in literature thus far.

Cutaneous-Pericardial Fistula: Rare Complication of Transapical Aortic Valve Replacement—Case Report and Literature Review

Project description:Cutaneous-pericardial fistula is a rare complication of transapical aortic valve replacement; only a few cases are reported in the literature. It is part of a wide range of surgical site infection manifestations that could emerge after surgery. Due to its proximity to the heart, the risk of infectious lesions of adjacent structures and inoculation of pathogens on the prosthetic valve can lead to life-threatening complications. We report here a case of successful surgical treatment through reduced ribs and soft tissue operative trauma.

Aorto-Right Ventricular Fistula Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Multimodality Imaging of Successful Percutaneous Closure.

Project description:Highlights•Aorto-right ventricular fistula is a rare diagnosis and is on the spectrum of aortic periannular rupture.•Multimodality imaging is crucial in identifying aortic periannular rupture, defining its course, and for preprocedural planning.•We describe a case of aorto-right ventricular fistula, which was successfully treated using an Amplazter vascular plug intravenous device (St. Jude Medical) and is to our knowledge the first reported case of using a plugging device for this type of disorder.

Congenital Aorto-Right Ventricular Fistula Associated with Pulmonary Hypertension in an Old Female Patient.

Project description:We report a late clinical presentation of an aorto-right ventricular fistula (RVF) extending from the right sinus of Valsalva into the RV outflow tract with significant left-to-right shunt and severe pulmonary hypertension. A three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiogram and a chest-computed tomography scans were performed to better characterize the abnormality. Aorto- RVF can be either congenital or acquired, secondary to endocarditis, Valsalva aneurysm rupture, chest trauma, or aortic dissection.
