概要 Aortocameral fistula is a rare complication of aortic dissection. We herein report a case of aortic dissection after aortic valve replacement (AVR) complicated with a fistula to the left atrium. A 76-year-old man who had undergone AVR 1 year previously, was admitted to our hospital because of facial edema and chest discomfort. On auscultation, a continuous murmur was heard at the left lower sternal border. Computed tomography revealed dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta and a fistula to the left atrium was suspected. Transesophageal echocardiography showed the fistula between the false lumen of the aneurysm and the left atrium. Ascending aorta replacement and closure of the fistula was performed. There was dense adhesion between the aortic root and the roof of the left atrium. It seems that postoperative adhesion plays an important role in formation of aortocameral fistula.
