“…AVF as a complication of dual-lumen HD catheter insertion has been described in literature around the world. Although it is rare, when it occurs it can cause complications such as chronic limb swelling and high output cardiac failure [6,7]. To reduce the risk, ultrasound is recommended.…”

Double-lumen catheters are commonly utilized to acquire temporary access for hemodialysis in patients suffering from acute renal failure. There are many complications related to catheter puncture. An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is rare but occasionally fatal. This case report presents a female patient, 49 years old with a post-catheterization AVF between the femoral common artery and femoral vein, which was successfully treated with a peripheral cover stent placement. A four-week clinical follow-up showed the patient’s condition had significantly improved.

“…Chronic limb edema, false aneurysms degeneration, and high output cardiac failure due to fistula are common complications. 5 , 6 To prevent this, ultrasound guidance is recommended. Several studies 7 – 11 have demonstrated that real-time ultrasound guidance is superior to traditional landmark insertion techniques for the insertion of dialysis catheters because real-time ultrasound guidance is of particular value in increasing “first-pass” rates and reducing the risk of hematoma formation and other complications related to catheter insertion.…”

Double-lumen catheters have been used widely to obtain temporary access in patients who are in need of acute hemodialysis (HD) because of acute renal failure. Several complications are associated with the insertion of these catheters, including bleeding, infection, injuries to arteries, and deep venous thrombosis. An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare but significant complication following catheterization for temporary HD. Herein, we present a case of AVF associated with leg swelling 6 months after the removal ofa double-lumen HD catheter.We describe a special case of a 42-year-old man who experienced acute renal failure secondary to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). A 12-Fr dialysis catheter was inserted in the right femoral vein. Six months after catheter removal, the patient was admittedfor pain and swelling in the right leg. Color Doppler ultrasound and three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) revealed an AVF between the right femoral vein and the right femoral superficial artery. The fistula was repaired successfully by vascular surgeons.This case highlights that an AVF is a rare but significant complication after catheterization for temporary HD. The nephrologist should be wary of the potential of this complication and perform clinical and medical examinations at the insertion and removal of temporary HD catheters.

“…Furthermore, severe limb symptoms and heart failure have been reported. 3 – 5 ) Here, we describe a case of traumatic AVF with limb symptoms 60 years after a stabbing injury, which was successfully treated by surgical repair. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for the publication of this case report and accompanying images.…”

Post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a vascular injury complication and can present with vessel dilation, forming pulsatile varices, venous hypertension, distal ischemia, and congestive heart failure. We present a case of only pulsatile mass and leg pain caused by a 60-year-old post-traumatic AVF. Computed tomography angiography showed an AVF between the superficial femoral artery and superficial femoral vein. Surgical repair with AVF ligation was successfully performed. Traumatic AVF caused vascular and heart failure in the future; therefore, post-traumatic AVF is better eliminated as soon as possible.
