Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Nihon University School of Medicine.
Article Synopsis
- A case of an aortopulmonary fistula related to a post-operative aortic pseudoaneurysm is discussed, which is a rare complication following aortic surgery.
- The patient, a 60-year-old man with severe heart failure unresponsive to diuretics, was diagnosed after advanced imaging techniques revealed shunt blood flow from the aortic aneurysm to the pulmonary artery.
- The study emphasizes the effectiveness of transesophageal echocardiography for accurately diagnosing this condition, as it provides better details than routine imaging methods like CT angiography.

Introduction: Aortic pseudoaneurysms are a type of contained rupture where most of the aortic wall is breached, leaving only a thin rim of the remaining wall or adventitia to hold the blood. This condition carries a high risk of rupture and potentially fatal complications. Typically, patients present with chest pain; haemoptysis can also occur, though rarely.
