Distal ischemia induced by vascular access for hemodialysis - a case report.
Arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis may cause significant local and general changes in the bloodstream. Vascular access-induced ischemia is a rare but very serious complication which, if not treated in time, can lead to tissue necrosis. We describe a 66 year-old man with symptoms of distal limb ischemia caused by an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis.
