  • Title: [A rare cause of heart failure: aortocaval fistula associated with herniated lumbar disc surgery].
    Author: Çelebi AS, Tosya A, Uymaz B, Ömürlü K, Aybek T.
    Journal: Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars; 2014 Dec; 42(8):756-8. PubMed ID: 25620338.
    Abstract:
    Although aortocaval fistula is mostly encountered as a complication of abdominal aortic aneurysms, it may also arise as a complication of lumbar disc surgery. Great arteriovenous shunts especially may lead to high-output heart failure in due time. In this paper, we aim to present a case of high-output heart failure secondary to aortocaval fistule caused by lumbar disc surgery.
