“…Treament of aorto-right ventricular fistula depends on the cause, concomitant hemodynamics status and degree of left to right shunts. Samuels et al [17] In their series of 40 patients with traumatic ARV fistula reported a satisfactory surgical outcome in all of the 38 patients who undergone surgical repair. The mean interval between the time of injury and definitive repair was 1.5 years.…”

Aorto-right ventricular fistulas are defects of the aortic wall in the area above the right coronary cusp, where it separates the aorta from the right ventricular outflow tract. Often, these injuries are due to trauma, infective endocarditis, rupture sinus of valsalva or occussionally following Aortic valve replacement. We describe aorto right ventricular fistula in a patient 3 months following aortic valve replacement and type A aortic dissection repair.

“…2,3) The natural history of aorto-RV fistula after aortic valve surgery has not been well studied. However, the natural history of traumatic aorto-RV fistula was reported by Samuels et al 7) In their series of 40 patients, symptoms of heart failure developed over variable intervals, and definitive surgical repair of the aorto-RV fistula was performed in 38 of 40 patients. The mean interval between the time of injury and definitive repair was 1.5 years, with a satisfactory surgical outcome in all patients.…”

The occurrence of aorto-right ventricular (aorto-RV) fistula after prosthetic aortic valve replacement is rare. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with color-flow Doppler, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), or both may be required for diagnosis. A 42-yearold woman sought care for palpitations and dyspnea due to atrial flutter 2 weeks after prosthetic aortic valve replacement and graft replacement of the ascending aorta. TTE and TEE revealed left-to-right shunt due to aorto-RV fistula.

“…Right heart failure may be seen in chronic phases due to RV pressure and volume overloads. Left ventricular dilatation and failure may be seen due to high output as well as in the patent ductus arteriosus or peripheral A-V fistulas [8]. Diastolic murmur may be heard in patients with native valves but metallic sounds of the mechanical valves may mask it.…”
