Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation is used to palliate complex cyanotic heart diseases. We report an adult patient with AVF creation who subsequently developed severe left subclavian vein stenosis, causing significant left arm swelling. Covered stent placement successfully treated the venous stenosis, resulting in the normalization of his left arm swelling.

We report on two hemodialyzed patients in whom subclavian and brachiocephalic vein stenosis secondary to permanent cardiac pacemakers led to massive congestive edema of the same arm after arteriovenous fistula/grafts were created. Therapeutic solutions regarding hemodialysis access are discussed in these patients with permanent pacemakers requiring hemodialysis.

Patients with chronic kidney disease stage 5 are generally treated by hemodialysis, preferentially performed via an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). We report the case of a 58-year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and end-stage renal disease in whom hemodialysis was conducted via a long-term catheter. His medical record described numerous central venous cannulations and several AVF creations. The patient developed subclinical subclavian stenosis that required creation of a new vascular access route. The purpose of this case report is to describe treatment of subclavian vein stenosis during AVF creation.

A young woman with surgically treated tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, with multiple aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries, developed an arteriovenous fistula subsequent to transvenous insertion of an automatic implantable defibrillator via the left subclavian vein. The fistula extended between this vein and a systemic-to-pulmonary collateral artery arising from the subclavian artery. Unilateral peau d'orange, and painful congestion of the left arm and breast, ensued. These were cured by coil embolization of a fistula-related aneurysm.

We present a challenging case of a 75-year-old female with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and symptomatic sick sinus syndrome (SSS) who presented for a dual chamber pacemaker implantation and was found to have persistent left superior vena cava and absent right superior vena cava with stenosis of the left subclavian vein. In this report, we discuss the implant technique in this group of patients.

✓The authors present the case of a patient with a direct carotid artery–cavernous sinus fistula caused by head trauma in whom a self-expanding covered stent was successfully used to obliterate the fistula. However, at the 9-month follow-up an angiogram revealed a complex caroticocavernous fistula that was completely obliterated with Onyx 18 transarterially.

A 54-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis with access through a right arm arteriovenous fistula presented with right arm swelling. Venography demonstrated right subclavian vein stenosis. A balloon angioplasty of the stenotic vein was unsuccessful, and she subsequently underwent stent placement with balloon angioplasty. Ten days following the procedure, she developed acute shortness of breath. Transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated the migration of the venous stent into the right ventricle. Using an endoscopic robotic approach, the stent was successfully extracted from the beating heart.

Without the femoral venous approach, transcatheter closure of an atrial septal defect is challenging. We performed percutaneous closure via the left subclavian vein in a patient with absence of the inferior vena cava with azygos continuation. Considering that inferior vena cava anomalies are not extremely rare among those with congenital heart disease, the left subclavian vein approach can be an alternative to the femoral approach.
