Arteriovenous Fistula Between the Aorta and Inferior Vena Cava |
|
This series of digital aortograms shows a rotund fusiform infrarenal aortic aneurysm (a, c – red overlay)) which later in the study shows premaure filling of the IVC (b, d blue overlay). This is an example of aneurysmal erosure of the the IVC and secondary formation of an arteriovenous fistula. Copyright 2012 Courtesy Laura Feldman MD 35858c03CP |
Adrenal
Arteriovenous Shunting in a Pheochromocytoma |
| The aortogram of the right kidney in the arterial phase (a,b) and nephrogram phase (c,d) reveals a hypervascular mass arising from the right adrenal gland overlaid in green (b and d). The salmon pink arrow in b shows the renal artery in the arterial phase and the diffuse homogeneous enhancement in the parenchymal or nephrogram phase is shown by the maroon arrow in d. The suprarenal mass shows different perfusional characteristics that typify arteriovenous shunting in the mass. In the arterial phase (a,b) the arterial supply (bright red) shows bizarre angulation, non uniform branching with early draining veins (blue) seen while the kidney is still in the arterial phase. The veins become more prominent while the renal vein of the kidney is yet to materialize. The mass was shown pathologically to be a pheochromocytoma. Angiography is not safely performed in patients with pheochromocytoma since a crisis can be precipitated by the contrast. This case originates from an era prior to sophisticated imaging and biochemical evaluation.
