We report a case of iliac arteriovenous fistula (AVF) following disk surgery. A 51-year-old woman underwent hemilaminectomy for a slipped disk. Two weeks after surgery the patient experienced dyspnea and oedema of the lower limbs. Presence of a systolic murmur on the cardiac floor and on the abdomen was detected and abdomen CT scan which evidenced a AVF between the right common iliac artery and vein. The lesion, confirmed by angiography, was successfully treated with the endovascular technique. The endovascular technique appears to be a valid alternative to the traditional surgical treatment of postlaminectomy AVF. |
