Aortocaval fistula is uncommon and often associated with a ruptured iliac or abdominal aortic aneurysm. It has a high mortality secondary to the aneurysmal rupture but also to a high output heart failure. Open surgery has been the standard; however, endovascular management has emerged with lower mortality. We present a patient with a ruptured iliac aneurysm and an inferior vena cava fistula successfully treated with an endograft with embolization of the right hypogastric artery. The patient arrested on induction and was resuscitated with aortic balloon inflation. Endovascular therapy can be safely used in the management of iliac/aortocaval fistula.
