Abstract
Superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistulae (SMAVFs) are extremely rare with no consensus about therapeutic indications and optimal approach. Here, we present a case of a symptomatic SMAVF found in a young patient a few years after a penetrating abdominal injury. Following a complex clinical management of the acute status, we successfully managed the fistula with 3 covered stents in 2 consecutive endovascular procedures. Technical details of the performed procedures, including the main pitfalls and chosen solutions, have been explored and discussed.
