  • Title: [Post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula between splenic artery and vein as a rare cause of acute myocardial ischemia].
    Author: Günther K, Stangl R, Schweiger H, Rupprecht H.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1998 Jan; 69(1):91-3. PubMed ID: 9522082.
    Abstract:
    Arteriovenous fistulas of the portal system are rare. Congenital fistulas have to be differentiated from acquired fistulas; the latter are of posttraumatic or iatrogenic origin. The case presented demonstrates a history of diffuse abdominal pain and the first description of myocardial ischemia caused by a posttraumatic splenic arterioportal fistula. After diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties, the definitive treatment consisted in resection of the fistula system including the pancreatic tail.
