Abstract

Large-vessel chronic traumatic arteriovenous fistulas are a rare complication after trauma. Delayed presentation can consist of one or more features of high-output cardiac failure, pulsatile abdominal mass, bruit, limb ischemia, and venous congestion. We describe a patient with a complex iliocaval fistula secondary to a remote gunshot wound associated with a large 8.5-cm aortic aneurysm. Informed consent of the patient was obtained for publication of the case.
