Endovascular stent-graft treatment of an iatrogenic vertebral arteriovenous fistula.
We present a high-flow vertebral arteriovenous fistula caused by percutaneous catheterisation of the internal jugular vein. Endovascular transarterial treatment with a self-expanding covered stent was used to close the fistula successfully with preservation of the parent artery.
