“…Coil embolization is an effective option in the treatment of other complex conditions. 13,14 Coil embolization was effectively used in our patient, allowing exclusion of the fistula without complications. A 1-year follow-up suggested that a good long-term result was likely.…”

Arteriovenous fistula between the left vertebral artery and the inferior thyroid vein: a case report

et al. 2022

Arteriovenous fistula between the left vertebral artery and the inferior thyroid vein is a rare entity. This condition can change the blood supply of the basilar artery system, and then lead to an abnormal blood supply of the vertebral body. Therefore, this rare condition may be misdiagnosed in the clinic. We report an arteriovenous fistula between the left vertebral artery, which was found during an interventional operation of a 49-year-old Asian man. He was non-diabetic and an ex-smoker, and presented with a 1-month history of pain in the neck, shoulder, waist, back, and right lower limb. Vascular angiography showed an arteriovenous fistula, and coils were placed in the fistula. In this setting, coil embolization was effective, and a 1-year follow-up suggested that a good long-term result was likely.

“…In decreasing order of frequency, the superior mesenteric, gastroduodenal, and inferior mesenteric arteries are involved [1,16,19]. AVF involving the superior and inferior mesenteric vessels is uncommon in only about 41 cases collectively in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. SMA and IMA AVFs are abnormal communication between the SMA, SMV, and IMA, IMV, respectively.…”

“…Despite the early report of AVF in 1947, fistula of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) are still considered rare entities [2], which are easily misdiagnosed [3]. Splanchnic AVFs have been recorded in hundreds of cases, primarily between the hepatic, splenic, and superior mesenteric arteries, with only a few examples of superior and inferior mesenteric AVFs reported in the literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Simultaneous occurrence of SMA and IMA fistula is the rarest of the rare in the literature, especially treated with an endovascular approach.…”

Background Acquired arteriovenous fistula are rare complications of a piercing injury, including a gunshot or knife injury, the rupture of a preexisting aneurysm into a neighboring vein, or a complication of arterial catheterization or abdominal surgical techniques, most often colonic resection. Our aim was to develop an online systematic review of the literature to determine all documented incidents of endovascular embolization of secondary mesenteric Arteriovenous Fistula, spanning key databases as well as pertinent publications, from 1982 to 2019. Our case was included as well. The primary objectives were technical success and death; the secondary outcomes were the frequency of complications and the advice of the operators. Main body Forty articles, comprising 41 patients, including our own, were reviewed. The superior mesenteric vessels are the most commonly affected by fistulas. Endovascularembolization was used in 80% of the cases. 100% of the patients had technical success. The intraoperative death rate was 0%, with a 90-day mortality rate of 8%, half of which was unrelated to the original pathology. More than 60% of patients who underwent successful treatments had no severe problems. All others had uneventful recoveries, with only 12% experiencing mild problems that were managed conservatively. Conclusions The majority of authors supported this therapeutic approach thereby making endovascular glue embolization the treatment of choice for superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula and inferior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula in high risk patients and in patients with multiple co-morbidities.

Portal hypertension caused by right common iliac artery-superior mesenteric vein fistula

et al. 2015

Portal hypertension caused by arterio-portal fistula between the right common iliac artery and superior mesenteric vein has not been reported. Here, we report such a case in a 35-year-old male without any history of liver disease or abdominal trauma. This case was confirmed by abdominal aorta angiography and three-dimensional angiography, and was successfully treated by a covered stent implantation in the right common iliac artery to block the fistula.
