ABSTRACT
Systemic arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are a rare but well-recognized cause of hyperkinetic circulation that, if undetected, may lead to congestive heart failure. We experienced a very rare case of acquired arteriovenous fistula. A 61-year-old female patient presented with congestive heart failure symptoms after percutaneous pinning for right sternoclavicular joint dislocation. We surgically obliterated the fistula between aorta and innominate vein and performed tricuspid annuloplasty for severe tricupid insufficiency simultaneously. She was discharged with complete relief of her symptoms and has been well during 2 years and 6 months follow up.
