Diagnosis and treatment of acquired arteriovenous fistula after lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound plays an important role in screening and diagnosing AVF. Iliac vein obstruction rather than AVF was most likely the primary cause of the symptoms. Due to the high recurrence rate of DVT, transarterial embolization of AVF is not effective; thus, VHRT should be recommended as the preferred treatment.
