| Popis: | Abandoned thrombosed arterivenous fistulas are usually left in place with very rare complications. We describe a case of distal embolization from a thrombosed aneurismatic arteriovenous brachiocephalic fistula in a patient who vigorously used the affected arm for pushing his wheelchair. Vigorous physical activity with the hand bearing arteriovenous fistula (AVF) should probably be discouraged even after AVF thrombosis and especially, if the initial part of fistula vein is aneurysmatic. Antiagregation therapy should be considered in such cases. |
