Proximalization of Arterial Inflow for the Treatment of Limb Ischemia in a Transposed Femoral Arteriovenous Fistula—A Case Report

Femoral vein transposition is one of the final resorts for vascular access in patients with exhaustion of upper limb venous patrimony and central venous occlusive disease. Its major pitfalls include hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia and infection. Surgical procedures may be warranted to preserve vascular access if ischemia develops. Several techniques are reported in the literature for femoral vein transposition.
