A case of cardiac failure in a 54 year old man with a diffuse total arteriovenous aneurysm of the liver is reported. The aneurysm was arteriolarvenous, without a wide bore localised fistula. It occupied the whole hepatic mass, including the territories of the right subphrenic and anterior collateral of the gastroduodenal artery. The cause of cardiac failure was the elevated cardiac output, 15 1/min, which fell to 6 1/min at each peroperative occlusion of the hepatic artery. After ligature of this vessel, the cardiac output stabilised at 9 1/min and remained at this value 4 months after surgical cure. This case is comparable to the neonatal cardiac failure due to multinodular hepatic angioma with respect to the clinical, angiographic and CAT scan characteristics, and the surgical cure of the high cardiac output syndrome. Some of the histological features were suggestive, in places, of the structure of hepatic cavernoma, which makes the exact pathological classification of this diffuse aneurysm difficult; the closest possibility being an involuted from of diffuse capillary hemangioma of childhood allowing such long survival and, occasionally taking on the appearances of a cavernoma. Permanent surgical cure by ligature of the hepatic artery was an additional rare feature of this case.
