Cierre espontáneo de fístula residual post cierre quirúrgico de fístula aorto-ventricular derecha traumática: Caso clínico / Spontaneous closure of a residual fistula after surgical closure of a traumatic aorto-right ventricular fístula: Report of one case

ABSTRACT

We report a 16-year-old boy, who suffered a right vent ride penetrating injury caused by a sharp blade that evolved to cardiac tampon. He underwent surgery and was discharged four days later. Thirteen days later, a cardiac murmur was found. An echocardiography showed an aorta-right ventricular fistula. Surgical closure was performed through an aortotomy on cardiopulmonary by pass. The control echocardiography showed a small residual fistula, which closed spontaneously three months later.
