Endovascular stent graft treatment for iatrogenic arteriovenous fistulas after femoral catheterisation.
Acta Chirurgica Belgica 2004 October
This article presents a case report of a 79-year-old patient who was suffering from a large femoral arteriovenous fistula and a stenosis of the external iliac artery and who was treated successfully with stent grafts. The fistula, which consisted of three parts, was caused by a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Two Jo-stents and one Medtronic AVE stent were used to cover the fistula and to dilate the stenosis. This article also describes the possible causes of iatrogenic arteriovenous fistulas such as the technique of arterial puncture and its localisation. The treatment of iatrogenic arteriovenous fistulas with stent grafts is a safe alternative for surgery in patients who often suffer from multiple cardiovascular problems. It could become the treatment of choice in the future.
