He underwent a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and was suspected to have pulmonary artery perforation of an aortic pseudoaneurysm at the anastomotic site of the ascending aortic surgery. Transesophageal echocardiography showed shunt blood flow from the aortic aneurysm into the right pulmonary artery, leading to a definitive diagnosis of aortopulmonary fistula with post-operative aortic pseudoaneurysm. Computed tomography angiography is commonly used to diagnose an aortic fistula; however, diagnosis is often difficult because of the subtle imaging findings. We highlight the usefulness of transesophageal echocardiography in providing a definitive diagnosis and detailed morphologic information on this pathophysiology.</p>\u0000<p></p>","PeriodicalId":13711,"journal":{"name":"International heart journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
