Abstract

We describe a novel technique for placement of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug I in a relatively short space. A mesenteric, relatively large-caliber, iatrogenic, high-flow arteriovenous fistula associated with a pseudoaneurysm was successfully closed using a single vascular plug. The "stuffing technique" allowed us to place a second plug within a very limited residual fistula tract, avoiding the plug extending parent vessels.
