Iliocaval arteriovenous fistula is an uncommon, but challenging condition. The most common cause is spontaneous rupture of the iliac artery into the venous system due to aneurismal dilatation. We report a case of iliocaval fistula after previous aortic surgery presenting as acute liver failure as most prominent part of multiple organ failure and successful endovascular repair.
