Aortico-right ventricular shunt following aortic valve replacement. 1983

J Lorenz, and C V Reddy, and R Khan, and E Hoover, and H K Hsu, and N El-Sherif

A 58-year-old man developed cardiac decompensation following aortic valve replacement as a result of an aortico-right ventricular fistula. Serial hemodynamic and electrocardiographic changes are presented. Attention is drawn to this rare complication as a cause of hemodynamic deterioration following aortic valve surgery.
