Abstract A 64-year-old lady presented with a 6-month history of worsening unilateral leg swelling, with an audible bruit of the popliteal artery. Arterial duplex ultrasound confirmed the presence of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between the posterior tibial artery and vein. Upon thorough history, it was discovered that the patient had sustained a stab wound to this region some 25 years prior. The fistula was successfully managed endovascularly by means of a covered stent. This case highlights an unusual delayed presentation of an AVF and demonstrates the effectiveness of endovascular treatment of this condition.

Vertebro-vertebral arteriovenous fistula (VV-AVF) is a rare vascular disorder with an abnormal high-flow shunt between the extracranial vertebral artery (VA), its muscular or radicular branches and an adjacent vein. To date, there are no guidelines on the best treatment for VV-AVF. We present our experience of VV-AVF treatment with covered stents in three patients and detachable coils in two patients. One patient with fistula at the V3 segment had rapid fistula recurrence one week after covered stent treatment. The possible causes of failed treatment in this patient are discussed. The currently available treatment modalities for VV-AVF are also summarized after a literature review. At the end of this article, we propose a new concept of anatomically based approach for endovascular treatment of VV-AVF. Fistula in the V1-2 segments of vertebral artery could be treated safely and effectively by covered stent with the benefit of preserving VA patency. Embolization with variable embolizers should be considered first for fistula in the V3 segment because of the tortuous course and flexibility of the VA in this segment.

Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transbrachial and transfemoral approaches combined with visceral protection for the endovascular treatment of juxtarenal aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) over an average 19-month follow-up period. Methods In this retrospective analysis, all patients with juxtarenal AIOD at a single institution were reviewed from June 2015 to January 2020. Patient characteristics, angiographic results, and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively recorded. The indications for treatment were critical limb threatening ischemia in 12 patients and bilateral claudication in five patients. Percutaneous access via the left brachial artery was first obtained to recanalize the infrarenal occluded lesions. After that, femoral accesses were achieved. A 4-Fr catheter, a 4 mm balloon, or a 6-Fr 90-cm-long sheath was used to complete visceral artery protection. Results A total of 17 juxtarenal AIOD patients (14 males; mean age, 63.4 ± 8.1 years) underwent endovascular treatment. The technical success rate was 100%. Complete reconstruction was achieved in 15 (88.2%) patients. The infrarenal aorta was reconstructed with kissing covered stent grafts ( n = 7), kissing bare-metal stents ( n = 2), covered stent grafts ( n = 2), bare-metal stents ( n = 1), or the off-label use of iliac limb stent grafts ( n = 5). Renal embolization was found in 3 (17.6%) patients during intraoperative angiography. There was 1 (5.9%) case of distal runoff embolization after CDT and 1 (5.9%) case of left iliac artery rupture. One (5.9%) death occurred due to acute myocardial infarction 20 days after the operation. The average follow-up period was 19.3 ± 16.7 months (range, 1–54 months) in the remaining 16 cases. The renal artery patency rate was 100%. The estimated cumulative primary patency rates were 92.3% at 12 months and 59.3% at 36 months according to the Kaplan–Meier method. Conclusions Transbrachial and transfemoral approaches combined with visceral protection offer a safe and effective alternative to open revascularization for the endovascular treatment of juxtarenal AIOD.
