Abstract:
Arterio-venous fistulas (AVFs) are recommended as the first line vascular access option in patients requiring hemodialysis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Prosthetic grafts have been used successfully as an alternative in cases where AVF is not feasible. We present a rare case of dissection of the prosthetic graft. Knowledge and recognition of this complication is important in making correct diagnosis and deciding appropriate treatment.
