Ventriculo-pulmonary fistula. Case report, literature review and possible surgical approach to the infected LV suture line

Abstract

We describe a patient who developed a ventriculo-pulmonary fistula 2 years after resection of a left ventricular aneurysm, and mention the management of two further patients, one with a sinus, the other with a pseudo-aneurysm, both after left ventricular aneurysmectomy, to illustrate a possible surgical approach to a patient with a ventriculo-pulmonary fistula.
