Abstract:
Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) of the superior mesenteric vasculature are rarely encountered. We present a case of an iatrogenic superior mesenteric AVF following subtotal colectomy, which was successfully treated with coil embolization. Cross-sectional imaging and angiographic findings are reviewed along with the options for endovascular therapy.
