Anévrisme veineux juxta-anastomotique d’une fistule au niveau de la tabatière anatomique : une localisation atypique

Abstract

Native arteriovenous fistula is the best available vascular access for hemodialysis in end-stage renal failure. It is characterized by higher patency rates and lower rates of morbidity, mortality and complication compared to prosthetic bypass grafts and central venous catheters. Aneurysmal complications remain the main complications of these access with a high risk of rupture and fatal hemorrhage. Their management varies from case to another and several methods are reported in the literature. We describe a case of an atypical localization of a juxta-anastomotic venous aneurysm in the anatomical snuffbox, treated by resection with proximal reimplantation of the cephalic vein at the wrist.
