Abstract
Arteriovenous fistulas between the superior mesenteric artery and vein are extremely rare and often a late complication of bowel resection. We report a case of a 42-year-old male, who presented with abdominal pain and dyspnoea 9 years after ileo-caecal resection. A superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula was detected and treated endovascularly with an Amplatzer Vascular Plug, thereby reducing the cardiac output and flow in the superficial mesenteric artery by 1.1 l min-1. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
