Sammanfattning
After a delay of nearly 40 years the correct diagnosis was finally elucidated. The cause of the patients’s heart failure was an arterio-venous fistula resulting from a previous spleenectomy. After embolization of the fistula the patient was relieved of her heart failure symptoms with a successful discontinuation of the pharmacological therapy.
