Iatrogenic Graft-to-Vein Fistula Formation in Hemodialysis Arteriovenous Grafts: Two Cases Report
Iatrogenic fistula between the hemodialysis arteriovenous graft and the vein is a rare but significant complication. This is because, if left untreated, the hemodialysis arteriovenous graft can progress to thrombotic occlusion. We present two case reports of patients who developed iatrogenic fistulas between a hemodialysis arteriovenous graft and a vein and subsequently underwent treatment.
