Summary We experienced a female patient with a giant arteriovenous fistula in her lumbar region, which was successfully managed by a combination of selective embolization and a subsequent total excision. Embolization of the giant arteriovenous malformation resulted in an immediate decrease in the cardiac output and an increase in systemic vascular resistance. Three days after the embolization, a total resection of the lesion was achieved under general anesthesia, with a minimum amount of blood loss. The large skin defect after a total excision of the cutaneous lesion was covered with bilateral latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps.
