Abstract
We describe a 34-year-old woman who had symptoms of heart failure due to an arteriovenous fistula between the right iliac artery and the inferior vena cava caused by surgery for a herniated intervertebral disk. The literature is reviewed. An intra-arterial placed covered stent was successfully used to close the fistula.Entities:
