Saven cases of abdominal arteriovenous fistla secondary to aneursysm are reported. There were five arotocaval fistulae, on aortolumbar vein fistula, and one iliac artery to vein fistula. Three of five aortocaval fistulae were diagnosed pre‐operatively. One in‐hospital death occurred, and one post‐hospital death. An analysis of the diagnostic patterns is made in an attempt to increase pre‐operative diagnosis.
