Title: Superior Mesenteric Arteriovenous Fistula: Imaging Findings and Endovascular Treatment.
Authors: Temin, Nathaniel N.; Flacke, Sebastian; Ahari, Heideh K.
Abstract: Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) of the superior mesenteric vasculature are rarely encountered. We present a case of an iatrogenic superior mesenteric AVF following subtotal colectomy, which was successfully treated with coil embolization. Cross-sectional imaging and angiographic findings are reviewed along with the options for endovascular therapy.
