Abstract:
Traumatic iliac arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication of vascular injury. Open surgical repair has an incidence of postoperative complications. In recent years, endovascular treatment has shown better efficacy. We report a 62-year-old female AVF patient with a stab injury history of more than 16 years. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a large arteriovenous fistula between the right internal iliac artery and the common iliac vein. After considering the patient's relevant conditions, an endovascular approach was satisfactorily performed with the implantation of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II to interrupt the abnormal vascular communication and maintain arterial and venous patency. The final control images showed closure of the arteriovenous communication.
