- Abstract
- Systemic artery to pulmonary vessel fistula (SAPVF) is an uncommon condition, which is congenital or acquired. We recently encountered a patient with acquired axillary artery to pulmonary artery fistula detected by dual-source 64-slice computed tomography (DSCT) angiography who had a Nuss surgical procedure for pectus excavatum. He suffered from wound infection following bar removal. Conventional angiography also demonstrated the SAPVF and successful embolization for treatment was carried out using microcoils and polyvinyl alcohol particles. To our knowledge, there has been no report of an axillary artery to pulmonary artery fistula associated with wound infection following a Nuss procedure.
