Objective To summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience of one case of abdominal aortic aneurysm with iliac arteriovenous fistula.Methods A case of abdominal aortic aneurysm with left iliac arteriovenous fistula admitted to Nanchong Central Hospital in December 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis and treatment of the patient and the MDT discussion results were summarized.Results The clinical manifestations of this patient was refractory heart failure, and he received heart medicine treatment in Nanchong Center Hospital. The patient diagnosed as abdominal aortic aneurysm with left iliac arteriovenous fistula after computed tomography angiography (CTA), abdominal aorta lumen coated stents isolation (EVAR) during operation was performed after the MDT discussion. Postoperative imaging revealed a tumor cavity abdominal aortic aneurysm and left iliac arteriovenous fistula completely closed, then the heart failure symptoms of the patient was quickly relieved. The whole operation went smoothly, with a duration of about 120 min and intraoperative blood loss of about 100 mL. The patient was discharged from hospital on the 7th day after the operation. CTA and color doppler ultrasound were rechecked in 3 months after the operation, and the stent was found to have unobtrusional blood flow and no internal leakage, and the pseudoaneurysm of the left iliac artery disappeared.Conclusions For patients with refractory heart failure, if accompanied by lower limb swelling, the possibility of arteriovenous fistula of the great vessels should be taken into account, and the medical history and physical examination should be collected comprehensively, and necessary examinations should be carried out timely to avoid missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Meanwhile, compared with traditional surgery, EVAR is a more reliable, minimally invasive, and safe treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm with iliac arteriovenous fistula.
