Abstract

Central venous obstruction associated with a distal arteriovenous fistula can result in massive swelling of the affected extremity and venous hypertension. We present the surgical rescue of an axillary-axillary arteriovenous access ((necklace graft) between the left axillary artery to the contralateral axillary vein), compromised by central venous stenosis, by conversion into an arteriovenous axillary loop graft (AVALG) as an additional 'exotic' grafting procedure in the anterior chest. This procedure resulted in the salvage of the patient's access and rapid resolution of the associated upper extremity swelling.
