| Abstract: | We present a patient with an accidental self-inflicted stab wound to his right thigh in whom three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound was able to find two communications between the right femoral artery and the femoral vein, in contrast to two-dimensional (2D) peripheral ultrasound which could find only one communication between them, thereby showing an incremental value of 3D over 2D ultrasound. |
