“…Angiography, the ''gold standard'' for diagnosing vascular complications after spine surgery, is indicated when the clinical findings are unclear or endovascular stent-graft placement is considered as an alternative to a surgical procedure. [1][2][3][4][5] The AV fistulae following spine surgery can be treated with surgical exploration or endovascular techniques. 1 Since Cooley reported the first successful repair of a large vessel AV fistula in 1955, open repair has been considered as the treatment of choice for large vessel AV fistulae.…”

“…In addition, patients with high-output heart failure may not tolerate general anesthesia and major operation. 5 Although some series have reported operative mortality rates as low as 6%, with the majority of deaths occurring in patients not correctly diagnosed with large vessel AV fistulae preoperatively, open repair still has substantial mortality and significant morbidity rates. [9][10][11] Currently, successful endovascular treatment of aortocaval fistulae associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic anastomotic pseudoaneurysms using stent-grafts has been reported, and some authors have recommended less invasive endovascular techniques for the treatment of large vessel AV fistulae following spine surgery rather than surgical approaches.…”

Formation of an iatrogenic chronic large vessel arteriovenous (AV) fistula is an uncommon, early or late complication of spine surgery and associated with serious consequences. Its diagnosis is often delayed for months or years after the occurrence and rarely only after the patient develops heart failure secondary to a mature AV fistula. We present the case of a 43-year-old man with high-output heart failure due to an iatrogenic large vessel AV fistula after lumbar disc surgery successfully treated with the endovascular technique.

“…Limbs of the Endurant (Medtronic), 96 AneuRx (Medtronic), 97 and Excluder (W. L. Gore & Associates) 98 have been used to treat iliac lesions. A variety of covered stents, including the iCast (Atrium), 99 Fluency (Bard), 92 WALLGRAFT (Boston Scientific, Inc), 98 Viabahn (W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc), 100 Jostent (Abbott), 101 Passager (Boston Scientific), 100 Niti-S (Taewoong Medical Gyeonggi-do, South Korea), 102 Corvita (Corvita Corporation), 103 and back-table prepared PTFE-covered Palmaz (Cordis) 70 covered stents have all been described in treating various iliac arterial lesions. Internal iliac injuries can be managed with coil embolization, 92,94 including coil embolization with a covered stent across the origin of the internal iliac.…”

Objective: To review the current use of endovascular techniques in trauma. Summary Background Data: Multiple studies have demonstrated that, despite current guidelines, endovascular therapies are used in instances of arterial trauma. Methods: The existing literature concerning arterial trauma was reviewed. Studies reviewed included case reports, single-center case series, large database studies, official industry publications and instructions for use, and society guidelines. Results: Endovascular therapies are used in arterial trauma in all systems. The use of thoracic endografts in blunt thoracic aortic trauma is accepted and endorsed by society guidelines. The use of endovascular therapies in other anatomic locations is largely limited to single-center studies. Advantages potentially include less morbidity due to smaller incisions as well as shorter operating room times. Many report using endovascular therapies even with hard signs of injury. Long-term results are limited by a lack of long-term follow-up but, in general, suggest that these techniques produce acceptable outcomes. The adoption of these techniques may be limited by resource and surgeon availability. Conclusions: The use of endovascular therapies in trauma has gained acceptance despite not yet having a place in official guidelines.

“…It is, however, not rare. Fistula formation can involve the right iliac artery to iliac vein (29%), left iliac artery to left iliac vein (26%), right iliac artery to inferior vena cava (22%), right iliac artery to left iliac vein (13%), and aorta to inferior vena cava (9%) [4]. Jarstfer [5] reported that arteriovenous fistula symptoms appeared at 24 h (9%), 24 h to 1 year (70%) and after 1 year (21%).…”

Vascular complications of lumbar disk surgery are recognized but rare, iliac arteriovenous fistula is the rarest. It may cause massive shunt flow, leading to congestive heart failure and venous hypertension. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman, who had symptoms of heart failure and with a hypogastric pulsatile abdominal mass that irradiated a continuous murmur extending to the right lumbar region. The abdominal CT showed an arteriovenous fistula between the right common iliac artery and the right common iliac vein near the inferior vena cava caused by surgery for a herniated intervertebral disk.
