    Author: Shah TR, Parikh P, Borkon M, Mocharla R, Lonier J, Rosenzweig BP, Mussa FF.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2013 Jan; 47(1):51-6. PubMed ID: 23051851.
    Abstract:
    Aortocava fistula is a rare condition ranging from 0.22% to 6% of all ruptured aortic aneurysms. Recognition and diagnosis of this entity can often be difficult and requires heightened clinical suspicion to ensure that prompt surgical management leads to a favorable outcome. We herein describe the diagnosis and the technical points of successful endovascular management of aortocaval fistula in the setting of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
