title: Successful endovascular management of postoperative arterio portal fistula.
abstract: Arterioportal fistulas are rare and mostly a result of late complication of gastric and biliary surgery. Surgical excision has been the therapy of reference. Endovascular treatment is emerging as a real alternative to surgery. The present study reports a case of postsurgical arterioportal fistula involving the gastroduodenal artery, the cause of portal hypertension, which was successfully treated by transarterial embolization using embospheres. Portal hypertension improved dramatically.
