An 18-day-old girl was admitted to the hospital for heart failure, but no intracardiac malformation was detected. She was followed-up as an outpatient because her symptoms improved with diuretics alone. After discontinuation of diuretics, swelling of the left thigh was noted and a vascular murmur was heard. A left superficial femoral arteriovenous fistula was found, and ligation was performed. The symptoms disappeared postoperatively, and the patient had a good course.
Key words: congenital femoral AV-fistula; high cardiac output heart failure; double ligation; neonatal heart failure
