“…Endovascular treatment with detachable balloons to occlude the fistula has become more common than open surgical revision. 2,6,10) Coil embolization 1,3,7,12,14) and stent grafting 4) have been reported. A transvenous approach was used to treat two patients with VVAVF with small diameter fistula orifices caused by needle puncture or intraoperative plucking injury.…”

A 58-year-old man presented with a traumatic vertebro-vertebral arteriovenous fistula (VVAVF) after attempting suicide by thrusting scissors into his right anterior cervical region. Two months later he noticed weakness and numbness of the right upper extremity. Examination revealed bruit in the right neck, no cranial nerve palsy, and weakness of the right deltoid and biceps muscles. Hypalgesia and hypesthesia were noted in the right C5 and C6 dermatomes. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass lesion on the right ventral aspect of the spinal canal from C2 to C7. Right vertebral artery angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm of the right vertebral artery and a high-flow arteriovenous fistula between the right vertebral artery and vein. The right vertebral artery was occluded with detachable coils because the fistula showed high blood flow and the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery was well opacified from the left vertebral artery. This procedure resulted in complete obliteration of the arteriovenous fistula. The preoperative motor and sensory symptoms improved. Endovascular treatment by coil embolization was effective in our patient with traumatic VVAVF.

Imaging the vertebral artery

Although conventional intraarterial digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard method for imaging the vertebral artery, noninvasive modalities such as ultrasound, multislice computed tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance angiography are constantly improving and are playing an increasingly important role in diagnosing vertebral artery pathology in clinical practice. This paper reviews the current state of vertebral artery imaging from an evidence-based perspective. Normal anatomy, normal variants and a number of pathological entities such as vertebral atherosclerosis, arterial dissection, arteriovenous fistula, subclavian steal syndrome and vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia are discussed.

“…1, 2a). Whereas in the past the most common treatment of AVF consisted of embolization with microcoils or surgery, nowadays successful stent repair has been reported in a few cases [10][11][12]. In our patient, a coronary polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent graft repair was sufficient.…”

Endovascular stent-graft treatment of an iatrogenic vertebral arteriovenous fistula

Abstract: We present a high-flow vertebral arteriovenous fistula caused by percutaneous catheterisation of the internal jugular vein. Endovascular transarterial treatment with a self-expanding covered stent was used to close the fistula successfully with preservation of the parent artery.
