Abstract
We describe a novel use of an Amplatzer III plug device (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, Minn) in the treatment of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula between the innominate vein and the origin of the left common carotid artery causing symptomatic right heart failure. A review of the literature indicates this is the first case to describe the use of the Amplatzer III device in this way. We demonstrate immediate closure of fistula radiologically and complete symptomatic resolution at short-term follow-up.
