AbstractDirect communication between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium is rare. We report a case that was first detected in utero and confirmed by a two-dimensional echocardiographic study performed postnatally. The patient remained asymptomatic, and hence was managed conservatively. The fistula gradually decreased in size and closed spontaneously at 15 months of age. The rarity of the case is discussed.

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.
