An 83-year-old man, who underwent coronary artery bypass operation of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending (LAD) artery, with sequential saphenous vein to the first and second obtuse marginal (OM) branches of circumflex artery 5 years ago and coronary artery stent implantation to right coronary artery 2 months ago, was admitted to the hospital with syncope and chest pain. Aortosaphenous graft selective angiography revealed that first sequential side to side ligation was inadvertently anastomosed to left posterolateral coronary vein with resultant flow into the coronary sinus and distal end to side sequential anastomosis to OM 2 coronary artery which was filling very weakly. In order to close this iatrogenic coronary arteriovenous fistula and to supply saphenous vein flow to OM artery, we decided to implant a graft covered stent into the saphenous vein at the same session.

Purpose: To illustrate the utility of color flow duplex ultrasound (CFDU) in the diagnosis and stent-graft treatment of a rare arteriovenous fistula (AVF) involving the vertebral artery and vein. Case Report: An iatrogenic AVF involving the right vertebral artery and vein was diagnosed in a 45-year-old man using CFDU. Treatment was recommended due to the large volume of blood shunted through the fistula and the associated loud bruit. Endoluminal treatment involved deployment of a covered stent within the vertebral artery to exclude the fistula. Postoperative CFDU confirmed the success of the treatment. Conclusions: CFDU can be utilized to accurately diagnose unusual lesions, such as AVFs involving the vertebral artery. The technique is also useful in planning treatment and monitoring the durability of stent-grafts implanted to obliterate this type of defect.

A 46-year-old male presented to our hospital suffering from right mastoid pulsatile tinnitus secondary to traffic trauma. Digital subtraction angiography was remarkable for a vertebro-vertebral arteriovenous fistula fed by the right vertebral artery at the C1 level. Dual platelet therapy was administrated before and after the operation, then a Willis covered stent was deployed at the orifice of the fistula. Post-operative angiography showed proper stent localization but some contrast agent leaking from the fistula. Angiography performed 6 months post-operatively demonstrated no leak from the fistula and the patency of the right vertebral artery. This case demonstrated that an intracranial covered stent could be used as an alternative, successful treatment for vertebro-vertebral arteriovenous fistula.

AbstractThis report describes a case of elderly patient with right iliac artery fissured pseudoaneurysm, leading to inferior vena cava arteriovenous fistula that was treated by covered stent device deployed at the level of the right iliac pathologic segment.
