A case of gastric arteriovenous fistula causing intraperitoneal hemorrhage

We report abdominal bleeding caused by an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of the gastroepiploic artery. A 20-year-old man visited our hospital with epigastric pain and hypovolemic shock. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a high-density region within a huge low-density mass. Angiog...

Zusammenfassung:We report abdominal bleeding caused by an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of the gastroepiploic artery. A 20-year-old man visited our hospital with epigastric pain and hypovolemic shock. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a high-density region within a huge low-density mass. Angiography revealed AVF of the gastroepiploic artery. Therefore, we performed transcatheter arterial embolization using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl®) to control the intraperitoneal hemorrhage.
