Congenital aortocaval fistula between right aortic sinus of Valsalva and superior vena cava: A rare case report

Abstract: Thoracic aortocaval fistula is a very rare cause of left to right shunt. Drainage of fistula into the superior vena cava (SVC) is very uncommon. Clinical symptoms depend on the size of the shunt. We report a rare case of an asymptomatic 27-year-old woman with congenital aortocaval fistula to the SVC with a small amount of left to right shunt that was considered for serial medical follow-up.

“…53 Congenital aortocaval fistula between the right sinus of Valsalva and the superior vena cava is a very rare anomaly that causes left to right shunt. 54 In the rare congenital aorto-atrial fistulas, abnormal connections exist between the different parts of aorta and the atria leading to volume overload and heart failure. 55 AVF between the inferior mesenteric artery and vein is very rare and it may cause ischemic colitis.…”
