Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of arteriovenous-grafts (AVGs) used in hemodialysis patients. Rupture and bleeding are the most common complications. In this case report, I present the case of a successful repair of an infected pseudoaneurysm that occurred at the AVG, its surgical ligation and the insertion of a new graft segment.
