Aortocaval fistula secondary to mediastinitis
Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1996Aortocaval fistula is a rare entity usually associated with a preexistent atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm or trauma. We present a case of an aortocaval fistula secondary to the subdiaphragmatic progression of a mediastinitis. The pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and treatment are discussed.

Traumatic Juxtarenal Aortocaval Fistula and Pseudoaneurysm
Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1990We discuss the treatment of a fistula located between the aorta and inferior vena cava which was caused by trauma. Fewer than 30 such cases have been reported in the English literature. A juxtarenal pseudoaneurysm and aortocaval fistula resulting from a gunshot wound, unrecognized upon the initial presentation of the patient, is reported herein.

Twenty-two spontaneous aortocaval fistulas between an abdominal aortic aneurysm and the inferior vena cava were surgically treated in 27 years at one surgical unit. The incidence was 5.9% of ruptured abdominal aneurysms; the operative mortality rate of 36.4% compared with an overall mortality rate for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms of 34.9 ...

The American Journal of Medicine, 1973
Abstract Collective experience at the Mayo Clinic with nine cases of acquired aortocaval fistula revealed a difference between the presenting features of patients with traumatic fistula and those of patients with spontaneous fistula. In addition, patients with spontaneous aortocaval fistula, rather than presenting with a single distinct clinical ...

Spontaneous Aortocaval Fistula
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1995Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm into the inferior vena cava is uncommon. A classic syndrome of high-output heart failure, continuous abdominal bruit, and renal insufficiency has been described and permits a clinical diagnosis if an aortocaval fistula is considered in the differential diagnosis.

CT Detection of Aortocaval Fistula
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1987We describe a patient in whom a secondary aortocaval fistula was diagnosed on dynamic CT by noting transient enhancement of the inferior vena cava simultaneously with maximum enhancement of the aorta. This pattern of caval enhancement is contrasted with the gradual increase and subsequent plateauing of caval opacification seen normally.

A gunshot wound to the right chest in a 21-year-old female resulted in an acute aortocaval fistula at the level of the diaphragm. An operative approach planned for maximal exposure, vascular control with intraluminal balloon catheters, and conservation of blood with an intraoperative autotransfusion system resulted in successful repair and long-term ...

Experimental aortocaval fistulae in rats
Microsurgery, 1981AbstractThe technique for creating a distal, highâflow aortocaval fistula in rats is described in detail. This reliable, inexpensive model lends itself easily to radiologic study and experimental manipulation and may be useful in studying the histologic and pathologic effects of the detachable balloon technique technique in treating arteriovenous ...

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1987
As CT is often the initial imaging method in the evaluation of suspected complications of abdominal aortic aneurysm, especially rupture of the aneurysm, it is important to be aware of other less common complications that can be detected by CT. A patient with an aortocaval fistula and renal venous hypertension is discussed.

Aortocaval fistula is a rare phenomenon which has both acute and chronic clinical presentations. Its diagnosis and treatment are difficult and it presents a surgical challenge of the first degree, requiring intensive perioperative care. A patient with an aortocaval fistula is described.
