Overview

Case report shows successful endovascular management of a rare idiopathic popliteal arteriovenous fistula, indicating promising outcomes.

Key Points

  • Endovascular management effectively excluded a high-flow left popliteal arteriovenous fistula.
  • Duplex imaging was instrumental in diagnosing a rare congenital arteriovenous fistula in the patient.
  • Patient presented with 18 months of left leg pain and swelling, leading to the discovery of the AVF.
  • Management involved using overlapping stent grafts to address the identified vascular issue.
