Abstract
A 48-year-old women with giant haemangioma of the liver underwent perc utaneous transjugular placement of a stent in the left hepatic vein fo r relief of an obstruction due to the compression of the benign liver tumour. Following the procedure, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation occurr ed and right-sided heart failure gradually appeared. Echocardiography and cardiac catherization demonstrated a fistula between the aortic ro ot and the right atrium, that was confirmed on surgery.
