We describe a case of aortopulmonary fistula in which the correct diagnosis was made by transthoracic echocardiography. The transesophageal approach, because of severe aortic dilatation, failed to provide the correct diagnosis, underlining the importance of complete transthoracic and transesophageal studies in the evaluation of aortic aneurysms.
我们描述了一例主肺动脉瘘病例,经胸超声心动图作出了正确诊断。由于主动脉严重扩张,经食管途径未能提供正确诊断,这凸显了在评估主动脉瘤时进行完整经胸和经食管检查的重要性。
