Popliteal arteriovenous fistula following meniscectomy.
A case of arteriovenous fistula between the popliteal artery and vein after injury during medial meniscectomy is presented. The diagnosis was made on the fifth postoperative day by angiography, and a successful reconstruction of the artery and vein was accomplished by primary anastomosis of the artery following resection of the damaged part; the vein was closed by lateral venorrhaphy.
