Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm development is a relatively common complication encountered in patients with an arteriovenous access. Pseudoaneurysms frequently develop due to repeated cannulation at the same site (one-site-itis) during dialysis therapy. Because of their risk of rupture, pseudoaneurysms can create a major catastrophe including death. Both interventional and surgical approaches are available to successfully combat this complication. In this chapter, we present pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management for patients with dialysis access-related pseudoaneurysms. Because multiple solutions are available, we also highlight the importance of multidisciplinary evaluation approach for pseudoaneurysms, including the assessment by a vascular surgeon.
