Endovascular treatment in trauma is a promising strategy to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a gunshot wound causing an initially undiagnosed subclavian artery injury, with delayed progression to a complex, difficult-to-manage arteriovenous (AV) fistula. Placement of an encapsulated endovascular stent graft resolved the primary lesion, but persistent cervical arteriovenous communications were only repaired after multiple, sequential embolization procedures.
