Abstract

The endoscopic dissection of the perforating veins has been invented by Hauer in the last decade. He introduced the videoendoscopy to this surgical procedure. The avoidance of operative access through areas of trophic changes is very beneficial for reducing postoperative complications. Although postoperative thermic lesion have been reported on. Following an endoscopic laser coagulation of a Cockett perforating vein an arterio-venous fistula between the posterior tibial artery and vein developed by the mechanism mentioned. Persisting pain and the persistence of the ulcer led to several diagnostic measures including phlebography, digital subtraction angiography and CT-scan. After the fistula had been closed successfully by percutaneous embolization with four platin wires the ulcer disappeared.
