  • Title: [A rare cause of continuous thoracic murmur. A fistula between the internal mammary artery and the pulmonary circulation].
    Author: Lodovici F, Ebagosti A, Escojido H, Jouven JC, Kosbarian C, Houel J, Jouve A.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1978 Jul; 71(7):827-30. PubMed ID: 102284.
    Abstract:
    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.
