Incremental Role of ThreeaDimensional over TwoaDimensional Ultrasound in the Assessment of Traumatic Peripheral Arteriovenous Fistula

We present a patient with an accidental self-inflicted stab wound to his right thigh in whom three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound was able to find two communications between the right femoral artery and the femoral vein, in contrast to two-dimensional (2D) peripheral ultrasound which could find only on...

Description
Summary:We present a patient with an accidental self-inflicted stab wound to his right thigh in whom three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound was able to find two communications between the right femoral artery and the femoral vein, in contrast to two-dimensional (2D) peripheral ultrasound which could find only one communication between them, thereby showing an incremental value of 3D over 2D ultrasound.
