Vascular damage during intervertebral disc surgery is uncommon. It sometimes leads to the formation of an arteriovenous fistula and about one hundred cases have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis is often early, with signs of venous hypertension predominating. The authors report a case of arteriovenous fistula presenting late as apparently primary congestive cardiac failure. The mechanisms of this condition were demonstrated during preoperative instrumental manoeuvres. Surgical correction is the only treatment alternative. Repair must be arterial and venous, most often using prosthetic material. This generally enables total and permanent recovery, but overall mortality in pathology of this type is not nil.
