Adult aortopulmonary window is a rare presentation of a rare disease; only a few cases are reported to have undergone successful surgical closure without development of Eisenmenger syndrome. We describe the second oldest patient, a 25-year-old woman, who underwent successful surgical repair of aortopulmonary window after favorable indirect measures on echocardiography without the "gold standard" preoperative cardiac catheterization study. At 2 months after the operation, the patient remains in New York Heart Association class II.
成人主肺动脉窗是一种罕见疾病的罕见表现;据报道,只有少数病例成功进行了手术闭合且未发展为艾森曼格综合征。我们描述了第二例年龄较大的患者,一名25岁女性,在超声心动图检查采取有利的间接措施后,未进行“金标准”术前心导管检查,成功接受了主肺动脉窗手术修复。术后2个月,患者心功能仍为纽约心脏协会II级。
