  • Title: A case of postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula.
    Author: Shida T, Gan K, Shio K, Takemura Y.
    Journal: Jpn J Surg; 1989 Nov; 19(6):738-9. PubMed ID: 2607697.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of a postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula involving the major renal vessels is presented herein. This type of postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula is very unusual; in fact, since first documented in 1934, only 65 cases have been reported in the world literature, including 2 cases from Japan. Even though postoperative arteriovenous fistulae are rare, one should bear this complication in mind when unknown causes of bruit or heart failure develop following surgery.
