Endovascular treatment of a large iatrogenic popliteal arteriovenous fistula.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Iatrogenic subclavian arteriovenous fistula during permanent pacemaker implantation: Closed by endovascular coiling.

Project description:Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula is a unique complication during pacemaker implantation. A 55-year-old man was posted for pacemaker implantation for recurrent unexplained syncope with trifascicular AV block. After axillary/subclavian venous puncture and introduction of RV lead, arterial spurting was immediately noticed as the the sheath was peeled away. After dissecting the overlying pectoralis muscle, deep sutures and manual compression achieved hemostasis. However, Subclavian arteriogram revealed an arteriovenous fistula from a lateral thoracic artery branch to the innominate vein. Hilal coils were deployed near the fistulous orifice, leading to complete resolution of the leak. After 3 days, pacemaker was implanted from right side. A multidisciplinary approach was the key to successful outcome.

Successful endovascular treatment of ruptured bilateral ophthalmic frontal dural arteriovenous fistula.

Project description:Bilateral ophthalmic-ethmoidal dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are extremely rare and may present as complex lesions. These DAVFs are associated with high risk of intracranial hemorrhage but can be presented with ocular symptoms, cranial nerve palsy or epistaxis. Endovascular approaches have been used to manage an increasing proportion of complex intracranial DAVFs safely and with good clinical results. We present a patient with subdural hematoma and severe epistaxis due to ruptured bilateral ophthalmic-ethmoidal DAVF that was successfully treated by transarterial embolization with precipitating hydrophobic injectable liquid.

Iatrogenic Arteriovenous Fistula: A Rare Complication of Pacemaker Implantation.

Project description:Severe vascular complications associated with pacemaker implantation are rare. Typically, they are overt, and require immediate resolution. We present 2 patients with insidious presentation of arteriovenous fistulae due to pacemaker implantation that were recognized early post-implantation. Both were repaired endovascularly and had good outcomes post-repair. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Iatrogenic tibial arteriovenous fistula after Fogarty balloon catheter graft thrombectomy.

Project description:A 75-year-old male presented with an immediately threatened grade IIb acute ischemia of the left leg due to thrombosis of a femoro-infrapopliteal prosthetic bypass graft. After an urgent Computed Tomography Angiography, an urgent graft thrombectomy was performed using a 5 Fr Fogarty catheter, which had a troublesome distal passage, causing a tibial A-V fistula.

Iatrogenic Arteriovenous Fistula Following Femoral Access Precipitating High-Output Heart Failure.

Project description:Iatrogenic complications may manifest in a variety of ways. We present the case of an 86-year-old woman who underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention with a drug-eluting stent for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction followed by leadless pacemaker placement through a femoral approach. Her post-procedure course was complicated by new onset high-output heart failure secondary to iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula formation, requiring covered stent placement. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Endovascular Treatment of Medial Tentorial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Through the Dural Branch of the Pial Artery.

Project description:Background: Tentorial dural arteriovenous fistula is a rare subtype of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) with a deteriorating natural course, which may be attributed to its pial angioarchitecture. TDAVF often harbors feeders arising from pial arteries (FPAs). Reports have revealed that, if these feeders are not obliterated early, the restricted venous outflow during the embolization process may cause upstream congestion in the fragile pial network, which increases the risk of hemorrhagic complications. Because most reported cases of TDAVF were embolized through feeders from non-pial arteries (FNPAs), little is known of the feasibility of direct embolization through FPAs. Methods: We present three patients with medial TDAVFs that were embolized through the dural branches of the posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar arteries. Findings from brain magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, angiography, and clinical outcomes are described. Furthermore, we performed a review of the literature on TDAVFs with FPAs. Results: The fistulas were completely obliterated in two patients; both recovered well with no procedure-related complications. The fistula was nearly obliterated in one patient, who developed left superior cerebellum and midbrain infarct due to the reflux of the embolizer into the left superior cerebellar artery. Including our cases, eight cases of TDAVFs with direct embolization through the FPAs have been reported, and ischemic complications occurred in three (37.5%). Conclusions: Advancing microcatheter tips as close to the fistula point as possible and remaining highly aware of potential embolizer flow back into the pial artery are key factors in achieving successful embolization. Balloon-assisted embolization may be an option for treating TDAVFs with FPAs in the future.

Treatment strategy to maximize the treatment outcome of spinal dural arteriovenous fistula after initial endovascular embolization attempt at diagnostic angiography.

Project description:Initial attempt of endovascular treatment (EVT) for spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is preferred because of concurrent diagnosis and treatment. However, outcomes following further treatment with initial EVT are not well studied. We retrospectively reviewed 71 patients with SDAVF to evaluate treatment outcomes of SDAVF after an initial EVT attempt. Pretreatment and posttreatment functional states were assessed by the Aminoff-Logue scale (ALS). In the case of incomplete occlusion or recurrence, overall outcomes after further treatments were compared. Of the 71 patients, 56 underwent initial EVT. Complete occlusion was achieved by initial EVT in 37 of 56 patients (66.1%). Multiple feeders were more frequently observed in patients with incomplete occlusion than complete occlusion after initial EVT (73.7% vs. 27%, P < 0.001). Among 19 patients with incomplete occlusion upon initial EVT, 14 underwent additional surgery, 13 of whom (92.9%) obtained improved or stationary functional outcomes. Functional improvement was not observed in patients who had repeated EVT or follow-up without further treatment. Recurrence was observed in 8 of 37 patients with complete occlusion upon initial EVT. Additional surgery achieved improved functional outcomes in cases of incomplete occlusion of SDAVF after the initial EVT attempt or recurrence rather than repeated EVT or follow-up.
