ABSTRACT
The Fogarty catheter is an invaluable tool in the surgical practice of a vascular surgeon. Arteriovenous fistula is an unusual but potentially dangerous complication of its use. We present the case of a man who suffered a peroneal arteriovenous fistula as a result of an above-knee femoropopliteal polytetrafluorethylene graft thrombectomy. As the fistula compromised the viability of the extremity, surgical correction was warranted. It was performed without further complications to the patient. The few cases reported in the literature are reviewed. We conclude that this complication should be repaired as soon as it is detected.
