- Arteriovenous fistula (AVF): Abnormal direct communication between adjacent artery and vein
- Usually acquired but sometimes may be congenital
- Arteriovenous malformation (AVM): Congenital abnormal arteriovenous (AV) communication
- Typically has central vascular nidus
- Enlarges through recruitment of additional feeding arteries and draining veins
- Typically has central vascular nidus
