The characteristic clinical courses are demonstrated. The complicated haemodynamics should be considerable for treatment of arteriovenous fistulae.
The most cases of congenital arteriovenous fistulae are multiple type. The excision of the lesion or ligation of the fistulae is not possible in the diffuse type of congenital arteriovenous fistulae except partial excision including a limited amputation. However localized type can be excised and relatively good surgical results are obtained. Varicose veins of congenital arteriovenous fistulae should not be indicated vein stripping except multipule ligations in the extremities.
