(the journal of cardiovacularsurgery - 1987, 29(4): 486-487)

Summary: Arteriovenous fistula between major abdominal vessels in an unusual complication of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. It most frewuently occurs between the aorta and the inferior vena cava, however, it is rare when occuring between the aorta and iliac veins. A case of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), secondary to erosion of an arteriosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm into both the retroperitoneum and the iliac vein is presented. The literature is reviewed and the symptoms and the treatment are discussed.
