Two Stage Complex Embolization of an Arteriovenous Fistula between the Right Common Iliac Artery and the Inferior Vena Cava
<p>We present an interesting case of a symptomatic high flow AV fistula between the right common iliac artery (CIA) and the inferior vena cava (IVC), successfully treated by endovascular coil embolization. The patient was found to have a right lower polar renal artery crossing the ips...
