Fistulous communications between the common iliac arteries and inferior vena cava are very uncommon and usually occur as a result of trauma, aneurysmal rupture, or endovascular repair. They can present with signs of high output cardiac failure including hypotension, venous congestion, and pulmonary hypertension. This case outlines the utility of CTA in diagnosing iliocaval fistulas and the importance of considering this diagnosis in a patient with signs of right heart strain and high output cardiac failure.
髂总动脉与下腔静脉之间的瘘管交通非常罕见,通常是由外伤、动脉瘤破裂或血管内修复引起的。它们可表现为高输出量心力衰竭的症状,包括低血压、静脉充血和肺动脉高压。本病例概述了CTA在诊断髂腔静脉瘘方面的作用,以及在有右心劳损和高输出量心力衰竭症状的患者中考虑这一诊断的重要性。
