Successful Hemodialysis Using an Iatrogenic Graft-to-Vein Fistula in Failing Arteriovenous Graft with Chronic Thrombotic Occlusion
An iatrogenic graft-to-vein fistula that develops between a vascular access graft and an adjacent vein is a rare but significant complication. We report a case of an arteriovenous hemodialysis graft (AVG) with an iatrogenic graft-to-vein fistula and a thrombosed venous limb. The AVG was preserved...

| Summary: | An iatrogenic graft-to-vein fistula that develops between a vascular access graft
and an adjacent vein is a rare but significant complication. We report a case of an
arteriovenous hemodialysis graft (AVG) with an iatrogenic graft-to-vein fistula and
a thrombosed venous limb. The AVG was preserved and used for hemodialysis
through the fistula and the cephalic vein. The thrombus in the venous limb could
not be removed. |
