RESUMENLa fístula aorto-cava es una patología muy poco frecuente, que generalmente se da como complicación del aneurisma de aorta abdominal aterosclerótico. Se presenta un paciente con antecedentes de herida de arma de fuego en abdomen, a quien se le realizó rafia en vena cava inferior. Ingreso por fiebre, evolucionó con insuficiencia cardíaca y sospecha de tromboembolismo de pulmón. Se realizó angio-TC que confirma el diagnóstico de tromboembolismo de pulmón y se observó fístula aorto-cava. Se realizó implante de endoprótesis aórtica y embolización de una rama de la arteria hipogástrica. Evolucionó sin insuficiencia cardiaca ni nuevas reintervenciones en el seguimiento a los 3 años.Palabras claves: fístula aorto-cava, herida de arma de fuego, insuficiencia cardíaca, tratamiento endovascular.ABSTRACT Aorto-caval fistula is a very rare pathology, that usually occurs as a complication of an abdominal aortic aneurysm atherosclerotic. A patient with a history of a gunshot wound in the abdomen is presented, who underwent repair of the inferior vena cava. Then admission for fever, evolved with heart failure and suspected lung thromboembolism. CT scan was performed confirming the diagnosis of lung thromboembolism, aorto-caval fistula was observed. Endovascular treatment was performed with implant of aortic endoprothesis and embolization of the hypogastric artery. Evolved without heart failure or new reinterventions at 3 years follow up.
