    Author: Chen Q, Tack C, Morcos M, Ruggiero M, Schlossberg P, Fogel J, Weng LJ, Farkas J.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2007; 30(5):1047-51. PubMed ID: 17497067.
    Abstract:
    We present a complex case of a splanchnic arterioportal vein fistula in a patient who presented with weight loss, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and pancreatitis. We report successful use of the Guglielmi Detachable Coil (GDC) and N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue for the therapeutic embolization of the fistula between the superior mesenteric artery, the common hepatic artery, and the portal vein. On the day following the procedure, the patient reported total remission of the abdominal pain and diarrhea. These results were maintained at 3 months follow-up.
