  • Title: [Aorto-cava fistula complicating abdominal aorta aneurysm].
    Author: Quenum L, Mvumbi F, Alami B, Boubbou M, Maaroufi M, Alaoui Lamrani Y.
    Journal: J Med Vasc; 2018 Jul; 43(4):267-271. PubMed ID: 29981736.
    Abstract:
    We report here a case of aorto-cava fistula complicating the rupture of a sub-renal aortic aneurysm into the inferior vena cava, which is a rare complication of aortic abdominal aneurysms with often-fatal outcome. Abdominal computed tomography with multi-planar reconstructions remains the firstline-imaging tool allowing positive diagnosis and preoperative planning. Treatment may be surgical or endovascular.
