[Results of surgical treatment of aorto-cardiac fistulas].
The authors report their experience in the surgical correction of aorto-cardiac fistulae. The long term results emphasise the good prognosis in coronaro-cardiac fistulae (13 cases), the problems posed by residual aortic insufficiency in the case of ruptured aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva (37 cases), the difficulties in diagnosis in the presence of an interventricular communication in association and, finally, the rarity of communications between the aorta and left ventricle (4 cases).
