Iatrogenic Arteriovenous Fistula: A Rare Complication of Pacemaker Implantation

Severe vascular complications associated with pacemaker implantation are rare. Typically, they are overt, and require immediate resolution. We present 2 patients with insidious presentation of arteriovenous fistulae due to pacemaker implantation that were recognized early post-implantation. Both wer...

Sumario:Severe vascular complications associated with pacemaker implantation are rare. Typically, they are overt, and require immediate resolution. We present 2 patients with insidious presentation of arteriovenous fistulae due to pacemaker implantation that were recognized early post-implantation. Both were repaired endovascularly and had good outcomes post-repair. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
