The Shifting Flow: Aortic Root Pseudoaneurysm with Dynamic Multichamber Fistulization after Aortic Valve Surgery

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Aortic root pseudoaneurysms (ARPAs) are rare echocardiographic findings. Multidirectional intracardiac fistulae are uncommon complications of ARPA. We present a case of an ARPA with fistulization to the left ventricle (LV) and left atrium (LA), with dynamic shifts in fistula flow direction depending on the phase of the cardiac cycle.
