Objectives: Stenting of central venous stenosis to preserve upper extremity hemodialysis access is well-described, though upper extremity complications secondary to these stents are less frequently discussed. Methods: We present the case of a 43-year-old male with a right brachiocephalic fistula who developed symptoms of venous hypertension following placement of a Wallstent for central venous stenosis. Workup demonstrated venous outflow obstruction secondary to stent foreshortening into the right subclavian vein. Results: The Wallstent was removed in a piecemeal fashion using an open surgical technique and a HeRO graft was placed for dedicated fistula outflow with complete relief of the patient’s symptoms. Conclusion: In situations where a stent has migrated and endovascular removal is not possible, individual Wallstent fibers can be removed through a limited venotomy.

We present the case of a 21-year-old male with significant lengthening and aneurysmal degeneration of his brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula resulting in a megafistula and high-output cardiac failure. A computed tomography angiogram showed narrowing at the cephalic arch. Further evaluation during the operation revealed kinking and elongation of the fistula in addition to compression of the cephalic arch in the deltopectoral groove leading to outflow obstruction. The aneurysmal fistula was treated successfully with aneurysmorrhaphy of the remaining conduit and banding of the inflow. This case demonstrates a unique etiology of venous outflow obstruction for a fistula and describes the surgical approach to its treatment in a young patient suffering from cardiac failure.
