An AFX aortic cuff can be successfully utilized for the endovascular repair of an aortocaval fistula secondary to a ruptured abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm.
Aortocaval fistula (ACF) is rare and lethal and can be either primary (due to an enlarged abdominal aortic aneurysm) or secondary (iatrogenic or secondary to abdominal surgery) in origin. We describe a case of an ACF secondary to a ruptured abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm that we successfully treated with a planned endovascular approach using an AFX aortic cuff on both the arterial and venous sides.
