Splenic arteriovenous fistula

D B Williams, W S Payne, W T Foulk

    Mayo Clinic Proceedings
    |June 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    This case report details a rare splenic arteriovenous fistula associated with splenic artery aneurysm and splenic vein dilatation. Surgical management involved splenectomy and fistula resection, highlighting a specific incision approach for complex cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Splenic arteriovenous fistulas are uncommon vascular abnormalities.
    • They are frequently linked to splenic artery aneurysms.
    • Potential complications include portal hypertension and gastrointestinal bleeding.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with an uncalcified splenic artery aneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, and splenic vein aneurysmal dilatation.
    • The patient was asymptomatic, with the fistula detected incidentally via a continuous bruit.
    • Standard physical examination identified the anomaly.

    Findings:

    • Splenectomy and fistula resection were performed.
    • The case highlights a rare presentation of splenic vascular anomalies.
    • Diagnostic findings included an uncalcified aneurysm and significant venous dilatation.

    Implications:

    • A left thoracoabdominal incision is recommended for complex splenic arteriovenous fistulas.
    • This approach anticipates potential portal hypertension or splenic vein aneurysm.
    • Early detection and appropriate surgical planning are crucial for managing these rare conditions.
