Abstract

Congenital renal arteriovenous malformation (RAVM) is an extremely rare abnormality with about 200 reported cases. It may be asymptomatic and found incidentally, or present with cardiac or renal symptoms. Hence establishing the physiological and clinical significance of RAVM is crucial in identifying patients in need of treatment and selecting the appropriate treatment. Herein, we report the rare case of a patient presenting with accelerated hypertension, heart failure and a congenital RAVM. We discuss the approach to assessment and treatment of congenital RAVMs in the context of cardiac disease.
