Pseudoaneurysmatic complication of an arteriovenous graft
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of arteriovenous-grafts (AVGs) used in hemodialysis patients. Rupture and bleeding are the most common complications. In this case report, I present the case of a successful repair of an infected pseudoaneurysm that occurred at the AVG, its surgical ligation and the insertion of a new graft segment.

Embolization of a stent from an arteriovenous graft into the right ventricle in a patient on chronic hemodialysis.
E mbolization of a venous stent is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of peripheral vascular intervention. We report a case of a woman with chronic kidney disease who had recently received an endovascular stent to treat a compromised arteriovenous graft. While cases of stent embolization have been reported with other applications, this case represents the fi rst reported proximal ...
متن کاملAn unusual case of fistula formation and thrombosis between arteriovenous graft and a native vein
Arteriovenous graft for hemodialysis vascular access is a widely used technique with many advantages. However, it has crucial complications with graft thrombosis and infection. We recently experienced an unusual case of arteriovenous graft complication involving graft thrombosis related to fistula formation between the graft and the natural vein with infection. We diagnosed this condition using...
متن کاملDistal emboli as an unusual late complication of a thrombosed arteriovenous hemodialysis graft.
The creation of an arteriovenous fistula for long-term hemodialysis access is one of the most commonly performed procedures in vascular and transplantation surgery. Prosthetic conduits are frequently prone to failure within their first year of construction, and after one or two revisions, they are left in their thrombosed state as permanent subcutaneous foreign bodies in the extremities. Conven...
متن کاملArteriovenous fistula after hair transplantation.
The most common cosmetic operation for men is hair transplantation [1]. The punch-graft technique has emerged as the simplest and most effective method. It is carried out under local anesthesia and has relatively few complications [2] . We report a rare complication of punch-graft transplantation, an arteriovenous malformation; it has not been previously documented angiographically in the liter...
متن کاملLife-threatening post-thrombectomy hypotension due to residual complications from a translumbar catheter
Translumbar catheters offer an alternative life-saving option in patients without conventional dialysis access, though their use and complication rates are poorly understood. We report the first case in the medical literature of a translumbar catheter inducing a central venous stenosis. This occult sequela converted what is usually a subclinical complication from an arteriovenous graft thrombec...
