This case report details a rare long-term complication following aortic dissection repair: an aorta-atrial fistula. This fistula, connecting the aorta and right atrium, was successfully repaired in a patient with a history of aortic valve replacement.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Case Reports
  • Aortic Diseases

Background:

  • The patient had a history of mechanical Bjork-Shiley aortic valve replacement and ascending aortic root dissection repair.
  • Long-term complications after aortic dissection repair are uncommon but can be severe.

Observation:

  • A 61-year-old male presented with fatigue and exertional dyspnea.
  • Echocardiography revealed an aortic pseudoaneurysm with an aorta-atrial fistula.

Findings:

  • The study describes the first reported case of an aorta-atrial fistula as a long-term complication of aortic dissection repair.
  • The fistula was successfully repaired, resolving the patient's symptoms.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare fistula formations in patients with a history of aortic dissection repair.

  • Further research may be needed to understand the long-term risks and optimal management of such complications.
