Pre-operative computed tomography enabled precise diagnosis of aorto-caval fistula prior to surgical repair in three reported cases.
Pre-operative CT imaging can enable precise diagnosis of aorto-caval fistula, facilitating carefully planned surgical repair.
Abdominal aorto-caval fistula is an unusual complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Pre-operative diagnosis is advantageous, enabling a carefully planned repair. We report three cases of aorto-caval fistula in which pre-operative computed tomography (CT) enabled precise diagnosis before repair.
