A rare case of a postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula involving the major renal vessels is presented herein. This type of postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula is very unusual; in fact, since first documented in 1934, only 65 cases have been reported in the world literature, including 2 cases from Japan. Even though postoperative arteriovenous fistulae are rare, one should bear this complication in mind when unknown causes of bruit or heart failure develop following surgery.
