  • Title: [Cardiac insufficiency caused by arteriovenous fistula. An unusual complication of spinal surgery].
    Author: Ferrari E, Baudouy M, Taillan B, Fredenrich A, Tomi M, Grinda JM, Teboul J, Jourdan J, Morand P.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1990 Oct; 83(11):1727-8. PubMed ID: 2122850.
    Abstract:
    Arteriovenous fistula is one of the main causes of high output cardiac failure. The authors report a case following lumbar disc surgery. There are a number of features which may suggest this complication both during surgery and in the immediate postoperative period which are important because the patient may only become symptomatic a long time after operation with a clinical presentation which leads to a cardiological rather than to a surgical referral.
