Abstract
This report describes a novel and effective salvage strategy for managing perigraft seroma complicated by a small-caliber expanded polytetrafluoroethylene arteriovenous graft (AVG). Our patient developed a persistent seroma near the arterial anastomosis following AVG placement. The patient underwent successful seroma removal and delayed graft recanalization after 1 week of spontaneous graft thrombosis, which permitted partial tissue incorporation. The treatment was successful, achieving complete resolution of the seroma and restoration of graft function. The patient has remained free of recurrence for 40 months of follow-up. This approach represents an effective strategy for treating perigraft seromas of hemodialysis grafts.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Dialysis is a bimonthly publication focusing exclusively on cutting-edge clinical aspects of dialysis therapy. Besides publishing papers by the most respected names in the field of dialysis, the Journal has unique useful features, all designed to keep you current:
-Fellows Forum
-Dialysis rounds
-Editorials
-Opinions
-Briefly noted
-Summary and Comment
-Guest Edited Issues
-Special Articles
Virtually everything you read in Seminars in Dialysis is written or solicited by the editors after choosing the most effective of nine different editorial styles and formats. They know that facts, speculations, ''how-to-do-it'' information, opinions, and news reports all play important roles in your education and the patient care you provide.
Alternate issues of the journal are guest edited and focus on a single clinical topic in dialysis.
