An arteriovenous fistula is a condition in which an artery and a vein are directly connected, allowing blood to flow between them. It can occur in virtually any part of your body where an artery and vein meet, especially in your organs and extremities. Depending on where the fistulas are, why they formed, and their size, they can be harmless or a major health problem, permanently damaging your heart.
