Abstract
Abstract The following case is of a 44-year-old female undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) due to chronic interstitial nephritis, utilizing a left brachiocephalic (BC) arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Following presentation with retrosternal anginal pain, diagnosed as high lateral wall myocardial infarction, coronary angiogram revealed normal coronaries. Subsequently, dilated veins along the right forearm were noticed, attributed to a patent right radiocephalic AVF. Despite being asymptomatic, the patient underwent a Doppler ultrasound confirming a blood flow of 400 ml/min through the AVF. No further intervention was planned as the patient continued MHD through the left BC AVF.
