A Case of a Thoracic Arteriovenous Fistula Between an Intercostal Artery and a Pulmonary Vein

Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are irregular connections between arteries and veins, and thoracic AV fistulas are rarely identified in clinical practice. We report a case of a 56-year-old female with a history of esophageal adenocarcinoma treated with radiation and resection who presented to the hospit...

description Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are irregular connections between arteries and veins, and thoracic AV fistulas are rarely identified in clinical practice. We report a case of a 56-year-old female with a history of esophageal adenocarcinoma treated with radiation and resection who presented to the hospital due to hemoptysis. She underwent bronchoscopy revealing a tracheobronchial fistula, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealing active arterial bleed. Subsequent angiography uncovered an AV fistula between her right T8 intercostal artery and pulmonary vein with a pseudoaneurysm. She underwent coiling of her T8 and T9 intercostal arteries with resolution of her symptoms.
