Abstract:
Stent placement is widely used for vascular access stenosis in hemodialysis patients as well as coronary artery stenosis. As its complication, stent fracture is not uncommon and causes restenosis after stent placement in coronary artery stenosis, but it has been rarely reported in venous stenosis of hemodialysis patients. Here we report a case of arteriovenous fistula dysfunction due to stent fracture in the cephalic arch of a hemodialysis patient.
