Résumé
Deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas is rare, with few therapeutic options available for chronic-phase deep vein thrombosis. Moreover, the effectiveness of endovascular treatment for chronic-phase deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas has not been established. We describe herein a case of successful endovascular treatment for chronic deep vein thrombosis with multiple arteriovenous fistulas. We describe the case of a 72-year-old Asian woman who had begun experiencing left leg swelling and intermittent claudication 2 years prior. Enhanced computed tomography revealed left common iliac vein occlusion with vein-to-vein collateral formation and several arteriovenous fistulas. Angiography and ultrasound showed the arteriovenous fistulas to run from the common and internal iliac arteries to the external iliac and superficial femoral veins. We opted against surgical repair for the arteriovenous fistulas due to their complex nature and complicated morphology. Since her condition was progressive, endovascular treatment with a stent graft was performed for the deep vein thrombosis, after which her symptoms gradually improved. Four months following the procedure, enhanced computed tomography confirmed remarkable reduction of the vein-to-vein collaterals and arteriovenous fistulas. In the present case, enhanced computed tomography with a stent graft was effective in improving symptoms. This strategy may therefore be a treatment option for intractable chronic deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas.

BACKGROUND
Deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas is rare, with few therapeutic options available for chronic-phase deep vein thrombosis. Moreover, the effectiveness of endovascular treatment for chronic-phase deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas has not been established. We describe herein a case of successful endovascular treatment for chronic deep vein thrombosis with multiple arteriovenous fistulas.
CASE PRESENTATION
METHODS
We describe the case of a 72-year-old Asian woman who had begun experiencing left leg swelling and intermittent claudication 2 years prior. Enhanced computed tomography revealed left common iliac vein occlusion with vein-to-vein collateral formation and several arteriovenous fistulas. Angiography and ultrasound showed the arteriovenous fistulas to run from the common and internal iliac arteries to the external iliac and superficial femoral veins. We opted against surgical repair for the arteriovenous fistulas due to their complex nature and complicated morphology. Since her condition was progressive, endovascular treatment with a stent graft was performed for the deep vein thrombosis, after which her symptoms gradually improved. Four months following the procedure, enhanced computed tomography confirmed remarkable reduction of the vein-to-vein collaterals and arteriovenous fistulas.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
In the present case, enhanced computed tomography with a stent graft was effective in improving symptoms. This strategy may therefore be a treatment option for intractable chronic deep vein thrombosis with arteriovenous fistulas.
