A Unique Case of Iatrogenic Femoral Arteriovenous Fistula associated with Deep Vein Thrombosis after Electrophysiological Procedure in a Kidney Transplanted Patient.

Iatrogenic femoral arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) can complicate femoral artery catheterization procedures. However, the co-occurrence of both is rare. We report the unique case of AVF with DVT, which occurred in the right femoral vessels of a 59-year-old man with a right iliac fossa kidney transplant, after percutaneous puncture for cardiac catheterization. Duplex ultrasound examination and computed tomography venography scan confirmed the diagnosis. Both the AVF and the DVT were managed surgically.
