Tunel aortalno-lewokomorowy — rzadka przyczyna szmeru skurczowo-rozkurczowego
2019
Aortico–left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) is a rare congenital paravalvular communication between the aorta and the left ventricle (LV), with few hundred odd cases reported till date. Most commonly the tunnel arises from the right aortic sinus. We herein report a case of AVLT in a 28-year old male where a common pouch, which was communicating to both the left, as well as right aortic sinus, was draining to the left ventricle. He presented with progressive heart failure where a long diastolic murmur was audible. The patient succumbed to death because of progressive cardiac decompensation before surgical correction could have been performed. This is a first ever report of AVLT where proximal chamber as a common sac, communicating with both the left, as well as right aortic sinus, was communicating distally to the left ventricle.
Key words- Aortico- left ventricular tunnel, Congenital heart defect, Aortic regurgitation; Diastolic murmur; Cardiac decompensation
