Stent-graft repair of peroneal arteriovenous fistula

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2007 Jan-Feb;30(1):133-5. doi: 10.1007/s00270-006-0097-5.

Abstract

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are infrequently seen in the civilian health-care system; traditionally, these lesions have been treated with ligation, or direct surgical repair with concomitant revascularization. We describe a rare case of a peroneal AVF treated with a stent-graft.
