Description
Sara Mariam Amini and co-authors report a man whose heart failed from a decade-old injury channel between an artery and a vein, in this 2026 case report. A gunshot had linked the two thigh vessels, and the shortcut went untreated. At 41 he arrived with a racing, strained heart and high lung pressures.
Scans showed veins swollen to huge widths by years of high flow. A team closed the channel from inside the vessel while tracking pressures live. Lung pressures fell and heart output settled toward normal at once. Four months later the great vein had shrunk by nearly a third. The authors stress that late repair can still pay.
