Abstract

Gastropericardial fistula is a rare, extremely serious and life-threatening condition. Its most common aetiology is secondary to iatrogenic injury following gastric surgery. Clinical manifestations may be non-specific with precordial pain, simulating an acute coronary syndrome, and may be accompanied by electrocardiogram abnormalities. Diagnosis is made by thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT) with oral and intravenous contrast. Treatment is surgical and consists of repair of the anomalous communication. We present the case of an 81-year-old male patient with gastropericardial fistula who underwent surgery, with the aim of reviewing the diagnosis and the appropriate therapeutic strategy.

Resumen

La fistula gastropericárdica es una patología infrecuente y extremadamente grave que pone en riesgo la vida del paciente. Su etiología más frecuente es la secundaria a una lesión iatrogénica tras una cirugía gástrica. La clínica puede ser inespecífica con dolor precordial, simulando un síndrome coronario agudo, y acompañarse de alteraciones en el electrocardiograma. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante tomografía computarizada (TC) toracoabdominal con contraste oral y endovenoso. El tratamiento es quirúrgico y consiste en la reparación de la comunicación anómala. Se presenta un caso de un paciente de 81 años con fístula gastropericárdica intervenido, con el objetivo de revisar el diagnóstico y la estrategia terapéutica apropiados.
