Septic embolization from stented arteriovenous fistula
Anastomotic stenosis of an arteriovenous fistula is often amenable to percutaneous intervention (angioplasty and stenting) and unlikely to be complicated by infection. A 69-year-old man underwent pre-emptive arteriovenous fistula construction that required interval placement of a covered stent for j...

| description | Anastomotic stenosis of an arteriovenous fistula is often amenable to percutaneous intervention (angioplasty and stenting) and unlikely to be complicated by infection. A 69-year-old man underwent pre-emptive arteriovenous fistula construction that required interval placement of a covered stent for juxta-anastomotic stenosis. The patient presented 1 year after the intervention with systemic sepsis that required stent graft explantation and revision. This is a unique case report showing an infected stent graft, placed to restore secondary patency, that was later found to be the source of bacteremia and septic pulmonary emboli. Keywords: Infected stent graft, AVF stent graft, Covered stent infection |
