title: [Post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula between splenic artery and vein as a rare cause of acute myocardial ischemia].
abstract: Arteriovenous fistulas of the portal system are rare. Congenital fistulas have to be differentiated from acquired fistulas; the latter are of posttraumatic or iatrogenic origin. The case presented demonstrates a history of diffuse abdominal pain and the first description of myocardial ischemia caused by a posttraumatic splenic arterioportal fistula. After diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties, the definitive treatment consisted in resection of the fistula system including the pancreatic tail.
