Aortocardiac fistulae (ACF) are exceptionally due to infective endocarditis; they are usually congenital, posttraumatic, or complicate aortic dissection. In infective endocarditis setting, their presence should prompt urgent surgery as patients can deteriorate rapidly. We report the case of a 78-year-old female patient with the first ever reported quadricuspid aortic valve infective endocarditis complicated by multiple aortocardiac fistulae. Additionally, we provide a brief review of ACF, in infective endocarditis and quadricuspid aortic valve.
主动脉心腔瘘(ACF)异常罕见,通常由感染性心内膜炎引起;它们多为先天性、创伤后形成或并发于主动脉夹层。在感染性心内膜炎的情况下,一旦出现应立即进行紧急手术,因为患者病情可能迅速恶化。我们报告了一例78岁女性患者,其患有首例有报道的四叶主动脉瓣感染性心内膜炎并伴有多个主动脉心腔瘘。此外,我们还对感染性心内膜炎和四叶主动脉瓣中的ACF进行了简要综述。
