Résumé
A 47-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the right arm for dialytic treatment. His past medical history included Wegener granulomatosis diagnosed 8 years previously and chronic kidney disease for which he was receiving kidney replacement therapy in the form of haemodialysis for 7 years. Twenty-four hours after the operation, the patient complained of pain, fever, general discomfort and inflammation in the surgical area. He was admitted to hospital for monitoring and observation. The AVF was dismounted and ligatured and the aneurysmatic area removed and debrided. Response was positive for the first 24 h.
