Congestive heart failure (CHF) with high cardiac output is an uncommon, yet attributable result of non-hemodialysis arteriovenous malformations. While the prevalence of high output heart failure has yet to be determined, it is observably low - specifically when looking at cases of high output heart failure as a result of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) with fistula formation, an entity that carries a reported incidence of <1% of all complications of AAA. In this report, we present a 64-year-old male with high output heart failure secondary to a ruptured right common iliac aneurysm causing right ilio-iliac and ilio-caval fistulas.

Background Arteriovenous malformations rarely cause congestive heart failure. Pregnancy may in theory trigger heart failure associated with congenital arteriovenous malformations leading to secondary pulmonary hypertension, but no cases have been reported proving that condition. Methods and results We report a 23-year-old pregnant woman at 36 + 5 weeks of gestation requiring urgent medical care because of shortness of breath. High-output heart failure was suspected, and a congenital arteriovenous malformation on the right scapular region was considered as the possible origin. The patient required urgent caesarean delivery because of ongoing cardiac failure, which improved soon after delivery. Postpartum angiography of the right subclavian artery revealed an arteriovenous malformation on the deltoid region with venous drainage through the subclavian vein and increased flow to the superior cava vein and right atrium. Conclusion A high index of suspicion of arteriovenous malformations should be maintained in pregnant women with cutaneous vascular malformation-like lesions, if symptoms of heart failure are present.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is a rare genetic blood disorder that leads to abnormal bleeding due to absent capillaries and multiple abnormal blood vessels known as arteriovenous malformations. A feature of HHT is high-output heart failure due to multiple arteriovenous malformations. High-output heart failure can lead to recurrent epistaxis Kiesselbach area syndrome (REKAS), further exacerbating heart failure through increased blood loss and resultant anemia. We report a patient with HHT who presented with high-output heart failure contributing to REKAS. In patients with REKAS, we propose if anemia is present, REKAS can be avoided by correcting the anemia by increasing the hemoglobin level to greater than 9 to 10 g/dL. This decreases hyperdynamic circulation and reduces pressure in the blood vessels of the nose.
