Traumatic high flow arterioportal fistula. Correction by a covered stent

The arterio-portal fistula is a rare entity, generally associated with different causes, among which penetrating trauma stands out. They can occur at the beginning asymptomatic or manifest by a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms with severe limitation of the patient's quality of life and even compromise it. Immediate therapeutic action, whether surgical or endovascular, is vital for the definitive solution of the primary triggering cause. We present the case of a patient with a stab wound to the abdomen who developed an arterioportal fistula with associated portal hypertension as a complication. It is treated by placing a covered stent at the level of the anomalous communication, with definitive clinical and imaging resolution.
