It was reported that post creation of the arteriovenous fistula (avf) in the ulnar-ulnar through brachial-brachial access, alleged bleeding was identified at the anastomosis going past the vein and into the arm.Reportedly, stenting was required with a covered stent to shut down the fistula/bleeding, and a surgical graft will be created at a later date.The patient did not have any issues post stenting procedure, and adequate distal flow was confirmed.The patient is currently doing well.
