[Arteriovenous fistula of the renal pedicle following nephrectomy responsible for heart failure. Report of 2 cases].
The authors report two cases of acquired post-nephrectomy arteriovenous fistula. The large shunt was responsible for cardiac failure. The first case was treated by percutaneous embolisation and the second by reoperation. The clinical results were excellent. These two cases illustrate the value of different imaging techniques and therapeutic approaches: direct surgery or embolisation.
