title: Vertebral artery stent graft for a chronic symptomatic vertebrojugular arteriovenous fistula.
abstract: A patient with a chronic, symptomatic V2 segment vertebrojugular fistula was successfully treated with a vertebral artery stent graft, with immediate tinnitus resolution. No early or late complications were observed, and at 45 months of follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic with a patent stent graft. The existing literature on stent graft treatment of vertebrojugular fistula is reviewed.
