Event Description

It was reported in an article from the journal of vascular access titled " use of a temporary shunt to preserve the patency of a hemodialysis graft while performing ipsilateral axillo-femoral bypass " that a carotid shunt was placed in a patient with a-v graft preserving continuous ipsilateral upper arm access flow when constructing a unilateral axillo-femoral polytetrafluoroethylene bypass operation for critical limb ischemia in a hemodialysis patient.However, ultrasound imaging revealed a decrease in blood flow through the graft, probably representing a physiologic steal syndrome without clinical presentation of worsening arm ischemia.The patient was discharged home the fourth post-operative day with a patent access graft.The a-v graft continued to be used as a vascular access until 4 months later when it became thrombosed.The status of the patient was not provided.
