Abstract

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.
