Abstract
Central vein occlusion involving the subclavian or innominate veins is a common complication of hemodialysis access. This can lead to venous hypertension manifesting as severe extremity edema and insufficient clearance during dialysis. If left untreated, central venous occlusion may lead to access failure. Here, we present a case of subclavian vein occlusion on the ipsilateral side of a brachiocephalic fistula treated with cephalic vein to internal jugular vein bypass with external jugular vein conduit resulting in resolution of symptomatic venous hypertension and preservation of access for dialysis.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
