Primary Aortocaval Fistula and Juxtarenal Aortic Aneurysm Z. Szeberin *, C. Csobay-Novák Department of Vascular Surgery, Cardiovascular Centre, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary
A 71-year-old man with hypertension presented with abdominal pain and dyspnoea; he had an 8-cm juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (unsuitable for standard endovascular aneurysm repair, owing to saccular outpouching of the immediate infrarenal area; arrow in [A]). Physical examination revealed signs of right heart failure: bilateral ankle oedema, hepatomegaly and right pleural effusion. An aortocaval fistula was noticed on computed tomographic angiography. Following suprarenal aortic clamping and distal inferior vena cava balloon control, an aorto-bi-iliac Dacron graft was implanted with primary closure of the fistula (B) from the aortic side. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged home on the sixth postoperative day.
