“…Indeed, in a large series of 202 AVF patients, 96% had a machinery type murmur. 1 , 3 Nonetheless, these physical exam findings are far less reliable in pelvic AVFs and, notably, the aforementioned series had only one AVF in the pelvis. CT angiography has been found to have a sensitivity of 90–100% and specificity of 98–100%.…”

Para pacientes hemodinámicamente estables, se prefiere la terapia endovascular con embolización selectiva con distintos materiales o instalación de stent recubierto.…”

“…En un 2,5 % de los casos, puede desarrollarse una fístula arteriovenosa (FAV) como complicación. Su diagnóstico es sobre todo tardío y se manifiesta con síntomas de sobrecarga cardiaca derecha, edema o congestión venosa local o ruptura de la FAV (1)(2)(3). Se presenta el caso del tratamiento precoz endovascular de FAV traumática por arma de fuego.…”
