Abstract

After creation of a brachiocephalic (BC) arteriovenous fistula (AVF), stenosis of the cephalic vein close to its junction with the axillary vein (cephalic arch stenosis, CAS) can develop. Flow impairment and access thrombosis are the consequences, sometimes complicated by prestenotic aneurysm of the cephalic vein. We here report our experience with cephalic vein transposition (CVT) for CAS.
