- Abstract
In the past two decades, the method of endovascular therapy, particularly utilizing covered stents, has been widely employed to treat arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) following traumatic injury. In this report, we present a case study of a patient with post-traumatic femoral arteriovenous fistula treated using a Viabahn endoprosthesis, during which a rare occurrence of stent deployment obstruction was overcome via successful endovascular intervention. Leveraging the unique release line-based deployment mechanism of the Viabahn stent, we were able to adroitly respond to this emergency situation by adopting a suitable approach via minimally invasive endovascular means, and ultimately resolving the impasse. This approach averted the significant trauma associated with open surgical procedures.
