In the modern era of endovascular surgery percutaneous interventions are being widely used to treat a number of vascular disorders including arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). Still, patients with hostile anatomy or complicated cases such as large post-traumatic AVFs may be successfully treated using conventional vascular surgery.
This paper presents state-of-the-art treatment options in subjects with post-traumatic AVFs and a case-report of a successful open surgical approach in a patient with a 25 year old history of a post-traumatic AVF between the common femoral artery and common femoral vein.
Open surgery is still a great option to treat patients with post-traumatic arteriovenous fistulas with hostile anatomy or in complicated cases. Concomitant conditions and complications should be addressed promptly.
