“…Although it is a simple application in experienced hands it can be associated with many complications, one of which is carotid artery-IJV fistula, a rare complication that has been described in the literature [2,3]. Herein, we report a case with carotid artery-IJV fistula who presented with catheter dysfunction and interruption of HD treatment.…”

“…IJV catheterization can be associated with many well-documented complications [4,5,6,7,8], but AVF between the carotid artery and IJV is rare [2,3,4]. In a minority of cases it develops from the carotid arterial puncture (CAP), and CAP is a frequent complication because of the anatomic relation of the two vessels with an incidence of 2–9.9% [9].…”

“…AVF evolution is frequently insidious, needs several months and sometimes years. It can lead to a variety of well-known clinical presentations such as cerebrovascular steal syndrome, systemic embolization, infection and congestive heart failure [1,2,10]. However, catheter dysfunction that is caused by AVF has not been described in the literature before.…”

“…The authors include a table of reported cases of acquired carotid-jugular fistulas from 1994 up to 2000, which includes the observations of Gobeil et al (1994) [28], Al-Kutoubi and Kreel (1994) [29], El-Shahawy and Khilnani (1995) [30], Nandapelan et al (1995) [31], Chen et al (1995) [32], Nemzek et al (1996) [33], Huart et al (1996) [34], and Avrahami et al (1997) [35]. Two further cases from before 2000, not reported by Talwar, were seen in the Croatian War by Kaklikkaya et al (1999) [36] and Zakhariev et al (1999) [37].…”

Purpose. To highlight the changes that have come about in recent years in the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of acquired carotid-jugular fistulas.Methods. We present a review of the literature on acquired carotid-jugular fistulas (CJFs), which includes studies from World Wars I and II up to today and a retrospective analysis of the lesion reports published in the period 2000–2012, with an update of Talwar's table. The case study of one patient suffering from an untreated, long-standing CJF recently treated by us is also presented and included in the updated table.Results. Thanks to early treatment of acute lesions by reconstructive and endovascular surgery, incidence of posttraumatic carotid-jugular fistulas is decreasing, while the number of iatrogenic ones due to medical advances is concomitantly increasing, specifically because of the ever more widespread use of central venous catheters for venous pressure monitoring, parenteral nutrition, and hemodialysis.Conclusion. Although such lesions seem destined to diminish in the future thanks to the above-mentioned diagnostic and therapeutic advances, the increasing number of internal jugular vein catheterizations performed worldwide implies that physicians will still be dealing with carotid-jugular fistulas for many years to come.

“…The subclavian catheter carries a high incidence of venous stricture as well as life-threatening traumatic complications [4, 5, 6, 7, 8], while the femoral catheter is frequently associated with infective complications and phlebothrombosis [9]. However, numerous complications of internal jugular venous cannulation have been reported due to uncertainty about vascular locations [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. …”

Background: A reliable temporary vascular access is always required for hemodialysis when a permanent vascular access is not available. However, techniques for creating temporary vascular accesses remain imperfect. This study utilized the ‘SiteRite’ ultrasound device to improve both success and complication rates of jugular venous cannulation for temporary access. Methods: This prospective, comparative study recruited 104 uremic patients receiving ultrasound-guided and 86 patients undergoing landmark-guided percutaneous internal jugular venous cannulation of dual-lumen dialysis catheters. Success rate, number of puncture attempts, access time, and the complication rate of the ultrasound technique, in comparison with the landmark-guided technique, were studied. Results: The ultrasound-guided cannulation was superior to the external landmark-guided cannulation in overall success rate (99.0 vs. 86.0%, p < 0.01), success rate of the first puncture attempt (80.8 vs. 34.9%, p < 0.01), average puncture (access) times (15.8 vs. 43.7 s, p < 0.01), puncture trials (1.39 vs. 2.58, p < 0.01), and traumatic complication rate (1.9 vs. 11.6%, p = 0.015). The incidence of infective complications for the ultrasound group was not different from that of the landmark-guided groups (2.9 vs. 2.3%, p = 0.589). Conclusion: The ultrasound-guided technique offers both safety and convenience in inserting jugular venous dialysis catheters. It represents a valuable technique in creating temporary dialysis hemoaccesses.
