Abstract

We are presenting a 35-year-old woman with past medical history of disseminated leiomyomatosis who presented with heart failure symptoms and was found to have post-capillary pulmonary hypertension and high cardiac output state in right heart catheterization secondary to a huge pelvic arterio-venous fistula.
