Spontaneous closure of right pulmonary artery-to-left atrium fistula: a case report
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 May 2016
Abstract
Direct 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.
