Iatrogenic tibial arteriovenous fistula after Fogarty balloon catheter graft thrombectomy

ABSTRACT: Abstract 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. A hand‐held doppler device reaveals a continuous machinery bruit due to a tibial A‐V fistula
