Arterialization of Previously Ablated
Vein
Richard Mueller MD – 2/14/12
I have a patient who has had gsv evlt twice (12 mm vein that didn''t close the first try)
Now has a 2-3 cm long partially open mid thigh segment (closed proximally and distally) with a strongly arterialized signal in the lumen, which is traceable to a common femoral artery branch, likely a pudendal or circumflex iliac artery
So it looks like what is rarely reported, an AV fistula post ablation
Would you advise surgery ? observation ? compression?
