Abstract
Trauma is a common cause of arteriovenous fistula resulting from iatrogenic or penetrating injuries such as gunshot wounds, stab injuries, and so on. Endovascular management using stent grafts is a minimally invasive method to manage these complex vascular injuries. We present a case report of a young male patient who presented to us with complaint of progressively increasing swelling in the left lower limb 8 years after gunshot injury to that limb. Stent grafts were deployed to reconstruct the artery and to occlude the fistulous site.Entities:
