Stent Graft Treatment for Prosthetic Graft Hemodialysis Access Aneurysm Due to Outflow Vein Stenosis: A Case Report

Abstract

Hemodialysis access aneurysms caused by outflow vein stenosis present a significant clinical challenge. A 36-year-old woman with a history of prosthetic graft hemodialysis access created 16 years previously developed an aneurysm at the venous anastomosis site due to outflow vein stenosis. The patient underwent stent graft placement to address the stenosis and aneurysm. After the procedure, the blood flow improved, and the aneurysm flow was eliminated. The aneurysm reduced in size over time, and the patient had a favorable outcome. Stent graft treatment for hemodialysis access aneurysms caused by outflow vein stenosis is effective and safe and offers a viable clinical option.
