DILATAȚIE ANEVRISMALĂ DUPĂ FISTULĂ ARTERIO-VENOASĂ RADIOCEFALICĂ PENTRU DIALIZĂ

Abstract

We report a rare case of aneurysmal dilatation developed at the level of a Brescia-Cimino arteriovenous fistula performed for dialysis. In the particular clinical situation of our patient (significant clinical complaints and a functional renal transplantation) we performed an excision of the fistula with reconstruction of the radial artery by an autologous venous graft interposition, with good postoperative outcome. Although this solution was more technically demanding, it has allowed both a complete excision of the fistula and aneurysmal dilatation and the preservation of the hand blood supply.
