A 43-year-old man presenting with symptoms of congestive heart failure, cardiomegaly, and impaired left ventricular (LV) function was diagnosed as having a huge left renal arteriovenous (AV) fistula. The AV fistula might be attributed to a gunshot wound suffered during his military service twenty years ago. Percutaneous transcatheter arterial embolization utilizing multiple spring coils in conjunction with cyanoacrylic glue successfully occluded the fistula, with subsequent improvement of LV function and reduction of LV size on his serial echocardiographic follow-up.

Wang et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Left renal arteriovenous fistula with congestive heart failure, cardiomegaly, and impaired left ventricular function (n=1). Percutaneous transcatheter arterial embolization using multiple spring coils and cyanoacrylic glue was evaluated on Fistula occlusion and subsequent improvement of left ventricular function and reduction of left ventricular size. Percutaneous transcatheter arterial embolization with spring coils and cyanoacrylic glue occluded a post-gunshot renal AV fistula in a 43-year-old man, improving LV function and size.
