Purpose: To describe the successful endovascular treatment of a popliteal arteriovenous fistula with a stent-graft. Case Report: A 54-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a distal popliteal arteriovenous fistula following an arthroscopic meniscectomy 6 years earlier. Three surgical attempts to close the fistula were undertaken, but the fistula recurred. He now presented with symptoms of progressive venous hypertension with claudication, swelling of the leg, and ulceration at the ankle. The fistula was closed with a stent-graft deployed percutaneously. At 18 months, the patient is doing well; duplex evaluation has documented the patency of the popliteal artery and the stent-graft. Conclusions: Endovascular treatment of a popliteal arteriovenous fistula is an alternative to open surgical reconstruction. In this situation, after multiple failed surgical closures and in a leg with extensive venous hypertension, it may be the best treatment option.

Purpose: To report endovascular treatment of 2 patients with aneurysmal deterioration of peripheral arterial allografts. Case Report: Two men (65 and 64 years old) who had undergone an arterial allograft reconstruction for infection of prosthetic infrapopliteal bypass grafts 5 and 7 years ago, respectively, were diagnosed with asymptomatic aneurysmal deterioration of the allografts. Stent-graft repair was successful in both cases, completely excluding the aneurysms. At ≥1 year, continued aneurysm exclusion was confirmed by duplex scan, with no evidence of endoleak, migration, or stenosis. Conclusion: Endovascular treatment may be a useful therapeutic option when treating patients with late peripheral allograft deterioration.

Purpose: To demonstrate the sustained efficacy of stent-graft exclusion of a pelvic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in a woman who became pregnant after treatment. Case Report: An iatrogenic iliac arteriovenous fistula caused by redo surgery for a herniated disk in a 23-year-old woman was successfully treated with percutaneous endoluminal exclusion. Intravascular ultrasound was particularly useful for localization of the fistula during the procedure. The patient subsequently became pregnant, and serial Doppler studies were used to monitor the stent-graft until the uneventful delivery of twins by Caesarian section. At 36 months after endograft implantation, the patient has no complaints relative to the device. Conclusions: Uncomplicated twin pregnancy following stent-graft repair of an AVF in the pelvis appears feasible.

Purpose: To present a case of extensive thigh hematoma that developed after use of a percutaneous suturing device for retrograde popliteal artery puncture. Case Report: A 55-year-old woman underwent endovascular treatment for a short occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery via a retrograde popliteal approach, after which the puncture site was closed with a Closer suture-mediated device. Several hours later, massive hematoma of the right thigh developed, which was noticed only after the patient's leg became markedly swollen and hypotension developed. Conclusions: The use of a suture-mediated closure device for a retrograde popliteal artery puncture may not be recommended.
