Abstract

•
Chronic traumatic AVF leads to significant morbidity when allowed to progress.
•
Traumatic AVF may be approached with endovascaular, open, and hybrid techniques.
•
We describe a traumatic AVF which was left to progress for over 30 years.
•
Our staged, hybrid approach decreased venous hypertension and bleeding during surgery.
