ABSTRACT
Embolization of atheromatous material from abdominal aortic aneurysms to the distal arterial circuit is a well-recognized clinical entity causing the "blue toe syndrome." A case is presented in which this phenomenon resulted in obliteration of the pedal arch and thrombosis of the tibial arteries. As a result, forefoot gangrene, severe leg ischemia and anterior and posterior compartment syndromes occurred. Salvage of the extremity required an extraordinary approach with the construction of an arteriovenous fistula between the posterior tibial vessels. The literature on the use of therapeutic and adjunctive arteriovenous fistulas and their physiology is discussed.
