Abstract
Aneurysmal dilatation can occur infrequently at the proximal site of an arteriovenous fistula probably because of abnormal wall stresses. However, there might be other intrinsic factors that contribute to aneurysmal formation besides the fistula, because only a very small number of patients with fistulae develop such an aneurysm. We describe herein the histopathological characteristics of a brachial artery aneurysm in a 57-year-old male patient on cholesterol apheresis through a radio-cephalic fistula, and the relationship of the aneurysm with the underlying disease is discussed.
