“…Rarer causes are aortic dissection, penetrating chest trauma, infective endocarditis, aortic valve (AV) surgery, and percutaneous endovascular procedures. [2][3][4][5][6] We report the case of a patient whose aorto-LV fistula we surgically treated, and we discuss the nature of AVFs and their treatment.…”

Aortoventricular fistula, a rare congenital or acquired defect of the aortic wall, is characterized by an abnormal connection between the aorta and one of the ventricles. Symptom severity correlates with the diameter of the fistula and with the acute or chronic timing of presentation. The diagnosis is usually made by using echocardiography, and surgical treatment is necessary to avoid progression to heart failure. We describe the case of a 27-year-old woman who underwent successful surgical repair of an aortoventricular fistula that originated from the right coronary sinus and extended into the left ventricle through the interventricular septum. In addition to the patient's case, we briefly discuss this unusual condition

“…We report a rare case of an aorta‐to‐RV fistula that was diagnosed in a young patient using multimodality imaging and efficiently treated with retrograde implantation of ADO II. Aorta‐to‐RV fistula has been most commonly seen after rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, trauma, or as a complication of infective endocarditis and aortic dissections 1–3 . These lesions have been very rarely described following transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacements and ventricular septal defect repairs 4–8 .…”

“…We illustrate the diagnosis and treatment of this rare complication through multimodality fusion imaging. Although aortography is the gold standard for diagnosis, noninvasive methods such as CTA, TOE, and MRI are currently preferred and can be very helpful for the planning, the device choice, and during the procedure 2,3 . Surgery is the primary treatment option; however, transcatheter closure has been attempted in a reasonable number of cases with encouraging short and midterm results.…”

We report the case of a 22‐year‐old female patient with complex congenital heart disease and multiple cardiac surgeries who came to our attention for right heart failure and hemolysis 3 years after aortic valve replacement surgery. She was diagnosed with aorta‐to‐right ventricle fistula and was efficiently treated with retrograde implantation of an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II device using three‐dimensional multimodality fusion imaging.

“…Moreover, comprehensive evaluation of anatomic relationships of perivalvular abscess/pseudoaneurysms may be beneficial for presurgical planning ( 25 ). This can also be accomplished with cardiac magnetic resonance and aortography; both of which can provide an excellent anatomical and flow dynamic description of the ACF before closure ( 26 – 29 ). Disadvantages of CT and angiography compared to echocardiography are the contrast-induced nephropathy and radiation exposure.…”
