Fig. 3 A, Aortocaval fistula (large curved arrow) and opacified inferior vena cava (outlined by smaller arrows) demonstrated by aortogram obtained to evaluate gross hematuria and persistent unexplained hypotension, after emergency laparotomy failed to reveal anticipated rupture of a large aortic aneurysm (case 6). B, Pelvis views, revealing opacification of lower aspect of aneurysm and iliac arteries, as well as extensively dilated pelvic venous system.

Fig. 4 Preoperative aortogram in patient (case 9) with large aneurysm and renal insufficiency (blood urea nitrogen 60, creatinine 4.4), performed to evaluate suspected renal artery disease. Unexpected aortocaval fistula was demonstrated (large curved arrow) with opacified inferior vena cava compressed and deviated laterally (smaller arrows).
