  • Title: Repair of aortic-left atrial fistula following the transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect.
    Author: Mello DM, Fahey J, Kopf GS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2005 Oct; 80(4):1495-8. PubMed ID: 16181899.
    Abstract:
    We describe the surgical treatment of an aortic-left atrial fistula that appeared 6 months after the placement of an Amplatzer septal occluder for closure of a large secundum atrial septal defect. Successful repair of the fistula was accomplished by a combined transatrial-transaortic approach similar to that used to repair the rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.
