Renal arteriovenous fistula masquerading as severe valvar heart disease. 1978

R Glaser, and R J Kramer, and R I Hamby, and A Aintablian, and S M Zeldis

Two patients with renal arteriovenous fistulae are described, who presented in high output failure. Murmurs were detected in these patients on routine physical examination years before, and when cardiac failure ensued they were assumed to have decompensated valvar heart disease. Full investigation revealed the arteriovenous fistulae and both patients made a good recovery after surgical ligation.
