Abstrakt: |
Congenital arteriovenous fistulas between the thoracic arteries and the systemic veins are rare, and in clinical terms may mimic patency of the arterial duct. We present a neonate with a large arteriovenous fistula between the left sixth intercostal artery and the left brachiocephalic vein, to the best of our knowledge a unique site of drainage. To our knowledge, ours is also the earliest presentation and treatment of a thoracic arteriovenous fistula. |
