[A rare cause of continuous thoracic murmur. A fistula between the internal mammary artery and the pulmonary circulation]. 1978

F Lodovici, and A Ebagosti, and H Escojido, and J C Jouven, and C Kosbarian, and J Houel, and A Jouve

The authors present a case of a continuous right lateral sternal murmur which led to the discovery of a systemic-to-pulmonary fistula at the origin of the internal mammary artery. The fact that the patient had a right pulmonary abscess with pyopneumothorax drained several years previously has led them to discuss the possible etiology of this fistula. The murmur disappeared after surgical treatment.

D001164 Arteriovenous Fistula An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE.
