Highlights Dialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula who have central venous stenosis develop collateral veins in the axilla and chest wall. These veins are at risk of spontaneous rupture, and major bleeding may occur.

Awareness of this complication and early protection can save the patient from life-threatening hemorrhage.
