| Summary: | Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a well-known complication in the adult population following cardiac interventions. Data on the pediatric age group are lacking. Furthermore, there are no guidelines for the management of the pediatric population. We present a case of successful endovascular device closure of iatrogenic axillary AVF in a limited resource setup. A 9-year-old girl had palliative ductal stenting through the left axillary artery for complex congenital cyanotic heart disease 6 months back. She presented with an iatrogenic axillary AVF. We planned to close the defect in catheterization laboratory. After successful device deployment, there was a complete occlusion of the arterial system. To maintain arterial patency stenting was performed subsequently. Successful device closure of complicated axillary AVF in the pediatric population can be achieved even in a recourse-limited setup. |
