A rare case shows pseudoaneurysm in an arteriovenous graft from the lower limb, suggesting careful monitoring for dialysis patients.
Hemodialysis access arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) are an important component of the treatment of chronic kidney disease patients with end-stage renal disease. Because access sites are limited, maximizing graft lifespan is important to dialysis patients. Pseudoaneurysm formation of AVG is a rare but important complication, potentially reducing the longevity of dialysis grafts. We present a rare case of pseudoaneurysm arising from AVG of the lower limb which was repaired by placing a bovine pericardial patch.
