Vascular injuries after penetrating gunshot wounds can result in arteriovenous fistulas, whose principal anatomical locations are the upper and lower extremities, whereas abdominal vessels are rarely involved. The aim of this paper is to report a case of penetrating abdominal trauma with evidence of visceral damage in which the analysis of hemodynamic data was a useful tool in the early diagnosis of intrarenal and aortocaval fistulas.

Abstract
Vascular injuries after penetrating gunshot wounds can result in arteriovenous fistulas, whose principal anatomical locations are the upper and lower extremities, whereas abdominal vessels are rarely involved. The aim of this paper is to report a case of penetrating abdominal trauma with evidence of visceral damage in which the analysis of hemodynamic data was a useful tool in the early diagnosis of intrarenal and aortocaval fistulas.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
