Pulmonary Hypertension and Acute Heart Failure Following Lumbar Disc Surgery

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A 70-year-old woman was admitted with heart failure and signs of pulmonary hypertension on echocardiogram. Cardiac catheterization demonstrated postcapillary pulmonary hypertension, elevated cardiac output, and O 2 saturation enrichment. Computed tomography revealed a large arteriovenous fistula between the common iliac artery and vein, which was due to a lumbar disc surgery performed several years prior.
