A 28-year-old German-Caucasian man arrived with deep vein thrombosis DVT, pain, oedema and rubor of right lower limb and drug abuse. The US Doppler imaging showed an autogenic AV fistula and false aneurysm of the right superficial femoral artery and femoral vein. The CT imaging showed additional closing of the left external iliac artery and common femoral artery, and of the distal and middle parts of the superficial femoral artery. The patient was treated within the angiography suite using a 8/25 mm (8 mm diameter/25 mm length) peripheral graft with expanded polytetrafluoroethylen ePTFE stent. After stent deployment, the dilatation was performed using 8/20 mm (8 mm diameter/20 mm length) balloons. After intervention, the digital subtraction angiography showed a good stent position with complete exclusion of false aneurysm and AV fistula. The outcome of US Doppler imaging also confirmed successful intervention.
