“…However, with advancements in endovascular technology and embolic materials, embolization has emerged as the preferred treatment for superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistulas ( 11 ). Since the pioneering report by Uflacker and Saadi ( 12 ), there have been 50 documented cases of endovascular treatment for iatrogenic superior mesenteric AVFs ( 13 ). The objective of endovascular treatment is to close the fistula while preserving the branches of the SMA.…”

BackgroundSuperior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula is a rare and difficult complication after abdominal trauma. Utilizing comprehensive endovascular treatment represents an effective approach to managing this condition.Case presentationWe report a case involving a 53-year-old female with a history of trauma who presented with complaints of abdominal pain, malaise, and melena. A computed tomographic scan revealed the presence of a superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula. The fistula was occluded using four Interlock detachable coils, and a covered stent was positioned over the arteriovenous fistula in the superior mesenteric artery. Following endovascular treatment, the patient's abdominal pain and melena symptoms disappeared.ConclusionUtilizing covered stents and Interlock detachable coils for endovascular treatment of a superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula proves to be both feasible and highly effective.
