A 40-year-old man presented with years of progressive leg swelling and venous varicosities. Lower limb computed tomography angiography and subsequent digital subtraction angiography demonstrated a large popliteal arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This was treated successfully by endovascular technique with a Viabahn stent (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) in the popliteal artery to exclude the AVF. AVFs of this size and chronicity are rare, and this case demonstrates a successful endovascular method of treatment.
一名40岁男性，多年来出现进行性腿部肿胀和静脉曲张。下肢计算机断层扫描血管造影及随后的数字减影血管造影显示存在一个巨大的腘动静脉瘘（AVF）。通过血管内技术，在腘动脉置入Viabahn支架（W.L. Gore & Associates，弗拉格斯塔夫，亚利桑那州）成功治疗该瘘，以排除动静脉瘘。这种大小和病程的动静脉瘘很少见，该病例展示了一种成功的血管内治疗方法。
