Abstract
A 27-year-old patient acquired an arteriovenous fistula after punch gr aft hair transplantation. This lesion was treated by (percutaneous) pu ncture and injection of a liquid acrylic (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate). Th e fistula was completely obliterated by the endovascular therapy witho ut the need for additional vascular or cosmetic surgery. Endovascular therapy may be helpful as an adjunctive or primary treatment modality for iatrogenic or post-trauma fistulas.
