Title: High-Flow Renal Arteriovenous Fistula Treated with the Amplatzer Vascular Plug: Implementation of an Arterial and Venous Approach

Abstract

We present a 28-year-old man with a large symptomatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) treated with embolization using the Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP). Although embolization may be considered the first-line therapy in the treatment of AVFs, there is an inherent high risk of migration of the embolic agents into the venous and pulmonary circulations. This case is illustrative of the ease and safety of using this device in high-flow renal AVFs.
