Περίληψη:
Major vascular injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy are rare,
usually readily apparent, and immediately treated. We report a case of
delayed presentation of a retroperitoneal vascular injury. The patient
presented with abdominal pain and increasing edema of the lower
extremities 1 year after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and was found to
have an ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula. Endovascular treatment was
accomplished using a graft-covered polytetrafluoroethylene stent. The
patient remained free of symptoms at 1-year follow-up.
