ARTERIOVENOUS ANEURYSM FOLLOWING SURGICAL OPERATIONS

ARTERIOVENOUS ANEURYSM FOLLOWING SURGICAL OPERATIONS Numerous reports concerning arteriovenous fistulas have appeared in the literature and for the most part have been concerned with those arising as a result of war wounds or from injuries incurred in civilian life, notably from bullet and stab wounds. It is not generally recognized that any trauma in which an artery and a vein are coincidentally injured may give rise to the condition. It is our purpose in this paper to call attention to the fact that this lesion may result from a surgical operation and to report an instance in which it followed a hysterectomy. The first report of an arteriovenous fistula was made by William Hunter1 in 1762. His 2 cases, which were classically described, followed injury of the brachial vessels as a result of bloodletting.

Abstract

Numerous reports concerning arteriovenous fistulas have appeared in the literature and for the most part have been concerned with those arising as a result of war wounds or from injuries incurred in civilian life, notably from bullet and stab wounds. It is not generally recognized that any trauma in which an artery and a vein are coincidentally injured may give rise to the condition. It is our purpose in this paper to call attention to the fact that this lesion may result from a surgical operation and to report an instance in which it followed a hysterectomy. The first report of an arteriovenous fistula was made by William Hunter1 in 1762. His 2 cases, which were classically described, followed injury of the brachial vessels as a result of bloodletting. The literature on the subject in the century following Hunter's communication contained many descriptions of similar cases not only in
