1
Q

What are causes of aAVF?

A
Traumatic
Stab
Shotgun
iatrogenic
spontaneus
2
Q

What are features of spontaneous AVF?

A

aneurysm rupture into a vein

IVC/ililac/left renal

3
Q

Where does carotid fistulize to?

A

internal jugular

4
Q

What is the flow physiology of aAVF?

A

Direction of flow in distal artery is maintained when the CSA of the fistula is = or x3

Proximally flow can increase x 5 if 3

5
Q

What are vessel features of chronic aAVF?

A

Proximally artery elongates
Artery thins ultimately leading to aneurismal degen
Proximal vein enlarges and becomes tortuous
Distal artery flow often reversed
Venous collateral

6
Q

At what time point can vessels changes be reversible if repaired?

A

2 years

7
Q

What are clinical features common in all aAVFs?

A
pulsatile mass
thrill
bruit
distende veins
distal arterial insufficiency
8
Q

What are duplex finding of AVF?

A

Fistilous connection
Color mosaic at level of fistula
Color pixels in adjacent soft tissue
Loss of triphasic wave forms in prox artery
Decreased flow in distal artery
Continuous high velocity flow in vein cephalad

9
Q

What are CTA findings of AVF?

A

Minimally invasive
Rapid
Accurate
Operator independent

10
Q

What are angio findings of AVF

A

Early venous filling
Failure of distal vessels to opacify
Management

11
Q

What are endovascular therapies for a AVF?

A

embolization

covered stent

12
Q

What are some covered stents?

A

Icast, jostent, fluency, viabahn, wallgraft

13
Q

What are some devices used for embolization?

A
Autologous clot
Gelatin sponges
Microfibrillar collagen
Polyvinyl alcohol
Metal coils
Liquid embolic agents
14
Q

What do you intervene on AVF?

A

if symptomatic

if small can be conservative
