Background: Arteriovenous fistulae represent a common sequel following injury to blood vessels. They can be assessed by several ways including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and conventional angiography. MRI has proven to be a useful technique in the visualization of the extent of vascular disorders. However, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has not yet been established as a standard modality for evaluation of feeding and draining vessels.
Case Study: We report on the case of a 32-year-old man suffering from a clinically symptomatic vascular fistula following inguinal stabbing in order to present the role of contrast-enhanced MRA for diagnosis and postinterventional follow-up of a peripheral vascular disorder. |
