A 39-year-old white female with multiple arteriovenous malformations of the left foot had had surgical ligation on her left dorsalis pedis artery at age 12 with no clinical improvement. She was placed into a leotard at age 16 and was able to function but would tire very easily and her left foot was twice the size of her right one.

In May 1988, she had four large feeder vessels off the posterior tibial artery and two off the anterior tibial artery embolized by use of 1,000 microns PVA particles, occlusive spring coils, and detachable balloons.

Her foot shrunk and is now smaller than her normal right foot; she does not tire, and she now wears a knee length stocking to help prevent other channels from opening.
