Abstract

We report on the case of a fisherman who was wounded by a stingray (Potamotrygon magdalenne). As a consequence he developed a femoral arterio-venous fistula that was surgical treated with success. Suture of the vein and end to end anastomosis of the artery were performed. A review of the literature yielded no cases of arteriovenous fistula of this etiology.
