Summary
A 48-year-old Caucasian male developed an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula involving a branch of the circumflex iliac artery and an abdominal wall vein after undergoing paracentesis 3 months prior to his presentation. He presented to our emergency room with a large abdominal wall haematoma. The fistula that caused the haematoma was embolised with no further complication.
