Arterioportal @entity292 (APFs) are usually traumatic in origin and may result in @entity101 and its complications. Over six years, six @entity1 (aged 20 to 59 years) presented with APFs. Two APFs developed after percutaneous liver biopsy, but only one was complicated ( @entity7252 ). Neither @entity1 was treated operatively. Four APFs occurred two days to three years after gunshot wounds. Three @entity1 presented with gastrointestinal tract @entity548 . All @entity1 had abdominal bruits. Two @entity1 underwent primary repair. One @entity1 underwent APF resection and replacement of the superior mesenteric artery with autogenous vein. Another @entity1 underwent APF and bowel resection. Three @entity1 survived. One @entity1 died of @entity1578 . The development of an abdominal bruit in a @entity1 with penetrating @entity1661 suggests APF and should prompt angiography. Elective repair is recommended before complications of @entity101 develop.
