Combined treatment of posttraumatic arterio-venous aneurysm between the aorta and left renal vein

The authors present herein a case report of a patient presenting with a posttraumatic arterio-venous aneurysm between the aorta and left renal vein, which is an extremely rarely occurring disease. A method of choice in treatment of an arterio-venous aneurysm is an open operation. The clinical example presented demonstrates a possibility of using roentgenoendovascular occlusion for closing the aorto-venous fistula. We report our own experience in treatment of the diseases by means of the occluders PLUG and Amplatzer ASD, followed by a surgical intervention.
