RESUMEN
The case being presented is a 35-year-old female with a 3-year history of progressive dyspnea and right-sided heart failure following spine surgery. Physical examination identified a continuous bruit in the lower abdomen radiating to her back which prompted further evaluation. Echocardiography showed normal left ventricle systolic function, enlarged right ventricle, functional tricuspid regurgitation, and moderate pulmonary hypertension. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated findings consistent with an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between the right common iliac artery and the inferior vena cava. She underwent an uneventful endovascular repair without perioperative complication. The patient's symptoms resolved a few hours after the procedure and she continued to be symptom free at 3-month follow-up. This case illustrates an iatrogenic iliocaval fistula causing high-output cardiac failure which was successfully treated endovascularly with excellent clinical result.
