Gradual Treatment of Arteriovenous Fistula in Femoral Vessels as a Complication of Coronary Angiography

Braz J Cardiovasc Surg. 2018 Nov-Dec;33(6):631-633. doi: 10.21470/1678-9741-2018-0008.

Abstract

Arteriovenous fistula due to coronary angiography intervention is rarely seen. Arteriovenous fistulas may be asymptomatic according to the size of the shunt, as well as to the heart failure. In this case report, we aimed to share gradual transition from endovascular methods to surgery and why surgical treatment is required for a patient who developed arteriovenous fistula after coronary angiography.
