  • Title: Spontaneous aorto-vena caval fistula: hemodynamic monitoring.
    Author: Savrin RA, Gustafson R.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 1981; 22(1):88-91. PubMed ID: 7217195.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of an atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm into the inferior vena cava presents a challenging surgical problem. Marked hemodynamic changes are produced by the large arteriovenous shunt. Hemodynamic monitoring with a Swan-Ganz catheter will quantitate these alterations and can help direct appropriate therapy. A case illustrating this unusual lesion and the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative cardiovascular changes is presented.
