J Vasc Access. 2023 Jan;24(1):155-157. doi: 10.1177/1129729821998849. Epub 2021 Jun 12.

Abstract

The following paper reports the case of a woman on in-center hemodialysis through an arteriovenous graft, who attended with an acute vascular access thrombosis. Post percutaneous thrombectomy, the patient presented a rare case of self-limited acute hepatitis secondary to the revascularization procedure. We explain the probable trigger for this complication, its pathophysiology, management, and evolution.

Keywords: Arteriovenous graft; acute hepatitis; hemodialysis; percutaneous thrombectomy.
