Şerif Yurt, Uğur Ziyrek, İzzet Emir, Oruç Alper Onk.




Abstract

Aortocaval fistula is primarily arisen from necrotic aortic tissue with disrupted connective tissue and adherent to adjacent venous structures
mostly in abdominal aortic aneurysms. The endoleak which appeared after endovascular aneurysm repairs can also cause this presentation.
Thrill is possible to be felt in abdominal examination in aortocaval fistulas, and skin changes suggestive of venous hypertension usually
occur in the body. Aortocaval fistula can cause high output cardiac failure, require an immediate intervention and endovascular methods are
considered to be prior in its treatment. In this article, we present endovascular treatment of aortocaval fistula secondary to Type 3 endoleak.

Key words: Arteriovenous fistula, endoleak, endovascular procedure.
