Résumé

The incidence of infrarenal aneurym is about 6 percent after the age 60 years. A primary aortocaval fistula is present in less than 1% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms. Atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm account for about 90% of spontanous aortocaval fistula. The most common site of fistulation is the inferior vena cava. Until recently, surgical repair was the only method of treatment and was associated high incidence of morbidity and motality. With rapid development of aortic stent-graft technique, endovascular stent-graft repair may offer an alterative to the management of this often fatal condition. We report a case of 72-years old male with aortocaval fistula in the abdominal aorta, which was treated with endovascular stent-graft implantation. About 30 days before procedure, the patient diagnosed inferior acute myocardial infarction with triple vessel disease and also suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. After the stent-graft inserting, no further communication from aorta to inferior vena cava and improving symptoms and sign of congestive heart failure. He was discharged without complication, about 2 months after admission.
