Abstract
We present a case of post-cardiac catheterization femoral fistula diagnosed by color and pulsed Doppler sonography and treated by ultrasound-guided compression. We avail ourselves of the case to review the echo Doppler semiology of the different types of arteriovenous fistulas with an emphasis on the functional analysis of the dialysis accesses. We also stress the therapeutic options in front of undesirable shunts.
