High-Output Heart Failure Due to an Iliac Arterio-Venous Fistula in Mycotic Aneurysm
Authors
Abstract:
Herein, we report a patient with arterio-venous fistula secondary to mycotic aneurysm, causing high output heart failure. The patient had one-year history of refractory heart failure and recurrent pulmonary edema. This presentation is a good example of curative surgically treatable cause of high-output congestive heart failure.Iran J Med Sci 2005; 30(1): 41-44.

As would be expected, the lesion is recognized in young to early middle life. The patient tends to be frail rather than robust, though there are exceptions to this, and there is no physical retardation. Clubbing of the fingers is frequently present, and telangiectases or hemangiomata may be present in the skin or mucous membranes. The most common presenting symptoms are cyanosis, which sometime...

A 36-year-old male presented with progressive exertional dyspnea over months. Physical examination showed jugular venous distension, lung crecipitations, femoral bruit and pitting pedal edema. Echocardiogram showed a dilated right ventricle with severe pulmonary hypertension and a non collapsing inferior vena cava (IVC). On right heart catheterization, IVC oxygen saturation was noted at 92% sug...

Firstly described in the 19th century by Sir William Osler, the mycotic aneurysm (MA) is a rare entity characterized by an abnormal arterial dilation, which is potentially fatal, and is associated with the infection of the vascular wall. Elderly patients are mostly involved, especially when risk factors like chronic diseases, immunosuppression, neoplasia, and arterial manipulation are associate...
