Delayed presentation of rupture after venous angioplasty

Abstract

Venous rupture is an uncommon complication resulting from dialysis graft interventions. We present a case in which contrast extravasation recurred following an initially successful balloon tamponade. The rupture site could not be negotiated with a guidewire to provide endovascular treatment, necessitating balloon occlusion of the graft. Copyright © 2007 by Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc.
