Iliac vein stenosis and venous hypertension after polytetrafluoroethylene arteriovenous loop graft in the thigh for hemodialysis access

Abstract

Central venous stenosis occurs commonly as a complication of central venous catheterization. It is most often seen after arteriovenous (AV) graft or proximal AV fistula in the ipsilateral upper limb. Iliac vein stenosis after thigh AV graft has not been reported in the literature. Successful endovascular management of an iliac vein stenosis after AV loop graft in the thigh is presented here.
