“…This anomaly has been classified into 4 types, and the type of fistula dictates the treatment approach. Although catheter-guided closure of the fistula has been recently proposed as a less invasive technique, numerous other factors are relevant when deciding upon the treatment approach for this condition [4]. It is always best to adopt a case-directed, individualized approach for the treatment of RPA-LA fistula.…”

A fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a very rare congenital anomaly, for which there is no definitive embryogenetic explanation. Patients present with cyanosis or clubbing, and the treatment strategy is to close the fistula, which can be done by an open surgical technique or by percutaneous intervention. Although rare, this condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis when evaluating a patient with central cyanosis.

In our case, the malformation was diagnosed prenatally at 40 weeks of gestation, and at the age of 14 days, the malformation was removed combined with a segmentectomy of the sixth segment of the left lung. Preoperative diagnostics focus on 3D-CT reconstruction and detailing of the anatomical variations of all arterial and venous vessels, as evident from our case. Treatment includes surgical removal or a minimally invasive interventional approach through the embolization of the vessel afferent to the malformation. After the operation, the child was discharged on the 30th day after birth in good condition and is developing normally. Early operative intervention is of great importance for the favorable outcome of the condition. In our case, this was hypoxemia with a saturation of 70-75%. The rare and often missed prenatal diagnosis of fetal AV malformation is significant for the adequate postnatal treatment and development of affected children.
