AbstractA fistula from the pulmonary artery to the left atrium is a very rare congenital anomaly. The communication, almost exclusively arising from the right pulmonary artery, may give rise to a variety of symptoms with cyanosis as the predominant sign. To our knowledge only seven neonates have been reported with this anomaly, and five of them died postoperatively. We present another two neonates with such a fistula which was closed by simple ligation using a transsternal approach and cardiopulmonary bypass. Both patients had an uneventful postoperative course and are alive and well at the age of two and three years, respectively.

Abstract A fistula between the pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a rare entity and its diagnosis is uncommon in the neonatal period. There are more reported surgical treatments in the literature than with a transcatheter closure. We report the case of a prenatal diagnosis of a large fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium with successful transcatheter closure with an Amplatzer duct occluder II 6/4 mm.

The Hamman-Rich syndrome is described in a 4-year-old Negro male. The clinical picture was that of persistent cough and progressive dyspnea beginning at 4 months of age. Diagnosis was made ante mortem by lung biopsy. The fibrotic process and arteriolosclerosis were more marked in the right lung. The disease may have been initiated by a bout of aspiration. There was accompanying stenosis of the right pulmonary artery and vein and occlusion of the lumen of the right pulmonary vein at its entrance to the left atrium. The hilar vascular findings are believed to be secondary to hilar areolar inflammation.

AbstractThe formation of a fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium via a sac is a very rare cyanotic congenital cardiopulmonary defect. A fistula between the pulmonary artery and left atrium may cause cardiac failure in utero. It can safely be treated surgically and in selected cases closure can be performed with transcatheter insertion of a device. In this article, we present a case with a fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium that was considered unsuitable for transcatheter closure and was safely treated surgically.

Successful Repair

A 52-year-old woman was evaluated for chest discomfort and dyspnea on exertion. Coronary angiography demonstrated an anomalous connection between the left circumflex artery and the right pulmonary artery. Successful repair was achieved under cardiopulmonary bypass, and the patient became completely symptom-free.
