The Shifting Flow: Aortic Root Pseudoaneurysm with Dynamic Multichamber Fistulization after Aortic Valve Surgery
Sneha Limaye, Ryan O'Connor, Eric Czinn, Jean-Pierre Iskandar, Farhan Bajwa
TL;DR
This paper discusses a rare complication after aortic valve surgery where abnormal blood vessel connections form near the aortic root, mimicking complex heart valve issues.
Contribution
The paper highlights the rarity and unique hemodynamic characteristics of multidirectional aortic root pseudoaneurysm fistulae following aortic valve surgery.
Findings
Aortic root pseudoaneurysms with multidirectional fistulae are uncommon.
Such fistulae involving the left atrium and left ventricle are rare post-surgery complications.
The hemodynamics of these fistulae can resemble those of multiple heart valve disorders.
Abstract
•ARPA with multidirectional fistulae is rare.•Complex ARPAs with LA and LV fistulae are rare complications of AV surgery.•Hemodynamic interactions of these fistulae may resemble multivalvular physiology. ARPA with multidirectional fistulae is rare. Complex ARPAs with LA and LV fistulae are rare complications of AV surgery. Hemodynamic interactions of these fistulae may resemble multivalvular physiology.
