Abstract

Highlights: Chronic traumatic AVF leads to significant morbidity when allowed to progress. Traumatic AVF may be approached with endovascaular, open, and hybrid techniques. We describe a traumatic AVF which was left to progress for over 30 years. Our staged, hybrid approach decreased venous hypertension and bleeding during surgery.
