Iliocaval Fistula Presenting with Paradoxical Pulmonary Embolism Combined with High-Output Heart Failure Successfully Treated by Endovascular Stent-Graft Repair: Case Report

چکیده
A 51-yr-old man presented exertional dyspnea as a consequence of iliocaval fistula combined with paradoxical pulmonary embolism and high-output heart failure. Endovascular stent-graft repair was performed to cover iliocaval fistula and restore the heart function. After the procedure, dyspnea was improved and procedure related complication was not seen. A 6-month follow-up computed tomography showed regression of pulmonary thromboembolism and well-positioned stent-graft without graft migration, aortacaval communication or endoleak. Stent graft implantation should be considered an alternative of open repair surgery for treament of abdominal arteriovenous fisula, especially in patient with high risk for surgery.

INTRODUCTION Acute injury to the large vessels is the most feared of diagnoses for a spinal surgeon, but far more common is the delayed presentation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) formation. The mean time to diagnosis of an AV fistula in this scenario is just over 1 month. Treatment can include both open and endovascular repair.

Iliac venous aneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities that may be manifested by abdominal masses, pelvic tenderness, or hypovolemia and may lead to rupture, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, paradoxical embolism, or death. Inferior vena cava agenesis, like venous aneurysm, is an uncommon condition that may present with deep venous thrombosis. This report describes a patient with inferior vena ca...
