  • Title: Aortoventricular fistula secondary to blunt trauma: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Siavelis HA, Marsan R, Marshall WJ, Maull K.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1997 Oct; 43(4):713-5. PubMed ID: 9356077.
    Abstract:
    An aorto-right ventricular fistula secondary to nonpenetrating trauma is described. Review of the literature is reported. Ascending aortic injuries present as either traumatic pseudoaneurysms or, less commonly, as aortocardiac fistulas. Blunt cardiac injury is a frequent concomitant injury and contributes to the high mortality of this lesion. Prompt surgical intervention is required for survival.
