title: Percutaneous management of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula.
abstract: The diagnosis of arteriovenous fistulae can be inhibited by inadequate clinical information and the presence of non specific signs. We describe how a patient was diagnosed with an arteriovenous fistula 19 years following penetrating trauma. We describe our successful treatment of this fistula using radiological endovascular techniques.
