Abstract

Acquired arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the hand can occur after trauma, fracture, or surgery. It is a rare condition, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Clinically they appear as palpable or painful lesions that persist long after the local hematoma has resolved. We report a case of a young patient presenting with long-standing and invalidating pain of the hand caused by a post-traumatic AVF, treated with percutaneous endovascular laser ablation.
