Traumatic renal arteriovenous fistula

P L Fong, B Jackson, G D Burfield

    The Medical Journal of Australia
    |November 4, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    A gunshot injury caused a renal arteriovenous fistula in a 29-year-old man. Surgical intervention successfully treated his renovascular hypertension and high-output cardiac failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Renal arteriovenous fistulas (RAFs) are rare vascular abnormalities.
    • Traumatic injuries, such as gunshot wounds, can lead to the development of RAFs.
    • RAFs can cause significant hemodynamic disturbances.

    Observation:

    • A 29-year-old male sustained a gunshot injury.
    • The injury resulted in the formation of a renal arteriovenous fistula.
    • The patient exhibited symptoms of renovascular hypertension and high-output cardiac failure.

    Findings:

    • The presence of a renal arteriovenous fistula was confirmed.
    • Surgical repair of the fistula was performed.
    • Post-operative assessment revealed resolution of hypertension and cardiac failure.

    Implications:

    • Surgical management is effective in treating traumatic renal arteriovenous fistulas.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent severe complications like cardiac failure.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering vascular injury in penetrating abdominal trauma.
