Percutaneous embolization of an arteriovenous fistula of the internal mammary pedicle following sternal wire insertion.
A case of traumatic arteriovenous fistula and false aneurysm of the internal mammary artery was encountered following sternal wire insertion during cardiac surgery. The diagnosis was suspected by echo-doppler and confirmed by arteriography allowing percutaneous embolization using cyanoacrylate in the same setting.
