We present a 28-year-old man with a large symptomatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) treated with embolization using the Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP). Although embolization may be considered the first-line therapy in the treatment of AVFs, there is an inherent high risk of migration of the embolic agents into the venous and pulmonary circulations. This case is illustrative of the ease and safety of using this device in high-flow renal AVFs.
我们报告一名28岁男性,患有大型有症状动静脉瘘(AVF),采用Amplatzer血管封堵器(AVP)进行栓塞治疗。尽管栓塞可被视为AVF治疗的一线疗法,但栓塞剂向静脉和肺循环迁移存在固有的高风险。该病例说明了在高流量肾AVF中使用该装置的简便性和安全性。
