Abstract
A 51-year-old female suffering from congestive heart failure was admitted.
Examinations revealed a formation of right iliac arteriovenous fistula caused by rupture of a right iliac artery aneurysm.
At operation, the arteriovenous fistula with 8 mm in diameter was divided and closed with matress and over-and-over suture with 5-0 Prolene. After the right common iliac artery aneurysm was resected, this artery was reconstructed with a double velour woven dacron graft with a diameter of 8 mm. The postoperative course was uneventful.
