Prosthetic Arteriovenous Graft Contact Dermatitis Masquerading as an Arteriovenous Graft Infection in a Hemodialysis Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prosthetic arteriovenous (AV) graft is the second most common vascular access of choice in hemodialysis patients. Rare complications of such grafts are increasingly seen due to rising population of patients on hemodialysis. Infections and thrombosis are the most common complications. Though metallic implants are known to cause hypersensitivity skin reactions, prosthetic AV grafts are rarely known to cause such kind of reactions due to inert nature of materials used in their preparation. We present a case of 54-year-old male who developed contact dermatitis after AV graft creation which was mistreated initially as infection.

Background: Dialysis access procedures and complications are important causes of morbidity and hospitalization for chronic hemodialysis patients. Ideally, any patient undergoing hemodialysis should receive an autogenous fistula that can be accessed throughout the patient's life. In patients with primarily unsuitable or secondarily surgically-exhausted veins, a prosthetic graft can be performed....

BACKGROUND Insufficient venous vasculature disallows autologous arteriovenous fistula creation. In this case an arteriovenous conduit of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) interponed between artery and vein is used for hemodialysis. Although arteriovenous graft infection is an infrequent complication, infected grafts cannot be used for hemodialysis and can cause infection, sepsis and blee...

BACKGROUND Mature autogenous arteriovenous fistulas have better long term patency and require fewer secondary interventions compared to arteriovenous prosthetic graft. Our Study evaluated vascular patency rates and incidence of interventions in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas and grafts. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 166 vascular access operations were performed in 153 patients between De...

INTRODUCTION Prosthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts are indicated in patients with failed AV fistula (AVF), exhausted superficial veins or unsuitable vessels. Increasing the proportion of prevalent hemodialysis (HD) patients using autogenous AVF should reduce the need for AV grafts and associated morbidity. This paper reviews the current role of prosthetic AV grafts in vascular access for HD. T...
متن کاملThe Use of Positron Emission Tomography in the Diagnosis of Prosthetic Arteriovenous Hemodialysis Graft Infection: A Case Study
Patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD) required efficient arterio-venous access. Different types of vascular access are commonly used, such as native arteriovenous (AV) fistula, prosthetic AV graft, central venous catheter, or temporary and tunnelled cuffed catheters. Vascular access—related morbidity remains the major issue for patients requiring long-term therapy. Vascular access infection con...
