[Arteriovenous fistula with cardiac insufficiency disclosing kidney cancer].
A 66 year-old woman free of any coronary and valvular heart disease presented to our hospital with acute and severe congestive heart failure associated with increased blood flow-angiography showed an intraparenchymatous arteriovenous fistula of the left kidney and a kidney cancer. The patient was discharged after nephrectomy and complete heart recovery as assessed from the normality of the hemodynamic exploration of the right ventricle.
