An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein which may result from a traumatic injury or occur as a congenital abnormality. It may be asymptomatic or may present with a variety of symptoms. Surgical or endovascular treatment can be preferred. We present a case of unsuccessful percutaneous treatment of a femoral AVF due to misplacement of the stent-grafts, necessitating surgical correction.
动静脉瘘(AVF)是动脉与静脉之间的异常连接,可能由外伤引起,也可能是先天性异常。它可能无症状,也可能出现多种症状。手术或血管内治疗可能是首选。我们报告一例因支架移植物放置不当导致股动静脉瘘经皮治疗失败,需要手术矫正的病例。
