title: Percutaneous transcatheter steel-coil embolization of a large proximal post-traumatic superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula.
abstract: Arteriovenous fistulae affecting the proximal portions of the superior mesenteric vessels are extremely rare. We are reporting one such fistula which occurred in a young male as a sequel to a stab in the epigastrium. The arteriovenous fistula was successfully treated by percutaneous steel coil embolization.
