Resumen

Popliteal arteriovenous fistulae (PAF) are anomalous communications between the arterial and venous systems of the lower extremity. They are usually secondary to trauma and are rarely associated with additional vascular defects. The coexistence of a PAF and a venous aneurysm is rare and usually occurs in patients with connective tissue disorders. Evidence regarding the management of this type of anomaly is scarce. However, both open and endovascular approaches seem feasible alternatives for treating this condition. Here, we describe a spontaneous popliteal arteriovenous fistula associated with a venous aneurysm in a 42-year-old male patient who presented with a popliteal mass. Satisfactory endovascular closure of the fistula and exclusion of the venous aneurysm were achieved using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II.
