of arteriovenous fistulas &#40;AVF&#41; created for haemodialysis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> They are potential sources of embolisation and thrombosis&#44; and can occasionally erode the skin&#44; giving rise to infection and local bleeding&#44; and can even deform the affected limb&#46; True aneurysms in AVF are dilations in which the structure of the vein or artery wall remains intact&#46; They frequently consist of venous aneurysms in long-term autologous fistulas associated with venous stenosis&#46; True arterial aneurysms are less common and frequently occur in the axillary or humeral arteries following ligation of an AVF in the elbow&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> The increase in arterial flow and wall vibration are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of this condition&#46; On the other hand&#44; pseudoaneurysms or fake aneurysms are expandable dilations caused by persistent subcutaneous bleeding through a continuous deterioration of the fistula or prosthesis wall&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">CLINICAL CASE</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">A 65 year-old male was referred from the nephrology department to the vascular surgery unit due to a large pulsatile mass in the left forearm that has been present for several years&#44; undergoing an accelerated and progressive growth in recent months&#46; The patient had a background of arterial hypertension&#44; dyslipidaemia&#44; and a left radiocephalic fistula created 20 years earlier for haemodialysis due to terminal chronic renal failure&#46; Six years after having received a transplant&#44; this fistula was ligated&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The physical examination revealed an enormous pulsatile mass in the anterior side of the left forearm&#44; with no signs of thrill or murmur &#40;Figure 1&#41;&#46; The hands were well perfused&#44; with both radial and ulnar pulses present&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We first performed a Doppler ultrasound analysis&#44; which revealed intense blood flow within the mass&#44; although we were unable to determine whether this was an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm&#46; We proceeded with an axial computed angiotomography angiography<span class="elsevierStyleBold"> </span>&#40;CTA&#41;&#44; and we were able to observe an enlarged and elongated humeral artery&#44; an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of 62 millimetres in diameter in the radial area&#44; permeable ulnar and interosseous arteries&#44; and an obstructed distal radial artery&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The suspected diagnosis of aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery secondary to a ligated radiocephalic AVF in the transplant recipient led to the indication of surgical treatment&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We performed incisions in the elbow joint and distally along the radius&#44; and then isolated the humeral&#44; radial&#44; and ulnar arteries&#44; observing a giant true aneurysm along the entire radial artery&#46; We completely resected the aneurysm and performed a proximal and distal ligation of the radial artery&#44; since it was chronically thrombosed &#40;Figure 2&#41; and the vascularisation of the hand was ensured by the continuity of the ulnar and interosseous arteries&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The postoperative period went without incident&#46; Upon discharge&#44; the patient&#8217;s humeral and ulnar pulses were constant&#44; with good perfusion in the hand&#46; A histological analysis confirmed that this was indeed a true aneurysm of the radial artery&#46; One year following treatment&#44; the patient is asymptomatic and without complications&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">DISCUSSION</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">True arterial aneurysms in the peripheral arteries are rare&#44; and only 5&#37; of them are located in the arms&#46; They are most commonly associated with local traumas and systemic diseases &#40;atherosclerosis&#44; giant cell arteritis&#44; and fibromuscular dysplasia&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> The scarcity of this pathology makes it difficult to evaluate its epidemiological and clinical characteristics&#46; In AVF created for haemodialysis&#44; sporadic cases of true arterial aneurysms have been described&#44; primarily in the axillary or humeral arteries and following ligation of an AVF in the elbow after kidney transplantation&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> In transplant recipients with well-functioning grafts after a reasonable period of time&#44; ligation of an AVF for haemodialysis is a controversial procedure&#46; However&#44; it is usually performed in order to avoid complications such as oedema&#44; vascular access steal syndrome&#44; high cardiac output&#44; thrombosis&#44; venous aneurysms&#44; pseudoaneurysms&#44; bleeding&#44; and aesthetic defects&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;4</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The diagnosis of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms tends to be clinical&#44; in the presence of a pulsating mass with progressive growth in the area of the vascular access&#46; Pulses distal to the lesion may or may not be present&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> A Doppler ultrasound may reveal flow in the aneurysmal sac&#44; thrombosis&#44; or haematoma&#46; In unclear cases&#44; a CTA scan or magnetic resonance can be useful&#46; Fistulography may be indicated if the aforementioned techniques do not provide sufficient information&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> and can be especially useful for planning surgical treatment&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">True arterial aneurysms must be quickly treated due to the risk of local and systemic complications&#44; including embolisation&#44; thrombosis&#44; skin erosion and infection&#44; bleeding&#44; and compression of adjacent nervous structures&#44; producing paraesthesia&#44; pain&#44; and reduced mobility&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> The treatment of choice is a resection of the aneurysm and arterial reconstruction<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span> in order to guarantee adequate perfusion of the limb after the aneurysm has been excluded from circulation&#46; Another option is endovascular treatment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span> In our case&#44; we opted for resection and ligation of the radial artery&#44; since it was chronically obstructed and the perfusion of the hand was guaranteed by the ulnar and interosseous arteries&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Venous aneurysms do not require treatment unless they are associated with severe stenosis&#44; necrosis&#44; or skin disorders and there is a risk of rupture of the aneurysm&#46; Severe stenosis can be treated with angioplasty&#46; If necrosis or the risk of aneurysmal rupture appears&#44; a surgical review is necessary&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Pseudoaneurysms are ruptures contained by the soft tissue that occur primarily in puncture sites&#46; Pseudoaneurysms of PTFE &#40;polytetrafluoroethylene&#41; prostheses can also be treated using percutaneous or surgical approaches&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> In the absence of infection&#44; a local repair can ensue by suturing the graft defect or by graft interposition&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;8</span> To conclude&#44; we would like to point out that aneurysmal dilations are complications that can jeopardise both the viability of the vascular access and the life of the patient&#46; As such&#44; it is essential to make a correct differential diagnosis between aneurysms &#40;arterial and venous&#41; and pseudoaneurysms for proper treatment planning&#44; since the appropriate treatment varies with each case&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conflicts of interest</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors affirm that they have no conflicts of interest related to the content of this article&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;11347&#95;16025&#95;30607&#95;en&#95;f1&#95;811347&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="11347_16025_30607_en_f1_811347.jpg" alt="Physical examination"></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Figure 1&#46;

of arteriovenous fistulas &#40;AVF&#41; created for haemodialysis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> They are potential sources of embolisation and thrombosis&#44; and can occasionally erode the skin&#44; giving rise to infection and local bleeding&#44; and can even deform the affected limb&#46; True aneurysms in AVF are dilations in which the structure of the vein or artery wall remains intact&#46; They frequently consist of venous aneurysms in long-term autologous fistulas associated with venous stenosis&#46; True arterial aneurysms are less common and frequently occur in the axillary or humeral arteries following ligation of an AVF in the elbow&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> The increase in arterial flow and wall vibration are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of this condition&#46; On the other hand&#44; pseudoaneurysms or fake aneurysms are expandable dilations caused by persistent subcutaneous bleeding through a continuous deterioration of the fistula or prosthesis wall&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">CLINICAL CASE</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">A 65 year-old male was referred from the nephrology department to the vascular surgery unit due to a large pulsatile mass in the left forearm that has been present for several years&#44; undergoing an accelerated and progressive growth in recent months&#46; The patient had a background of arterial hypertension&#44; dyslipidaemia&#44; and a left radiocephalic fistula created 20 years earlier for haemodialysis due to terminal chronic renal failure&#46; Six years after having received a transplant&#44; this fistula was ligated&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The physical examination revealed an enormous pulsatile mass in the anterior side of the left forearm&#44; with no signs of thrill or murmur &#40;Figure 1&#41;&#46; The hands were well perfused&#44; with both radial and ulnar pulses present&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We first performed a Doppler ultrasound analysis&#44; which revealed intense blood flow within the mass&#44; although we were unable to determine whether this was an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm&#46; We proceeded with an axial computed angiotomography angiography<span class="elsevierStyleBold"> </span>&#40;CTA&#41;&#44; and we were able to observe an enlarged and elongated humeral artery&#44; an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of 62 millimetres in diameter in the radial area&#44; permeable ulnar and interosseous arteries&#44; and an obstructed distal radial artery&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The suspected diagnosis of aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery secondary to a ligated radiocephalic AVF in the transplant recipient led to the indication of surgical treatment&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We performed incisions in the elbow joint and distally along the radius&#44; and then isolated the humeral&#44; radial&#44; and ulnar arteries&#44; observing a giant true aneurysm along the entire radial artery&#46; We completely resected the aneurysm and performed a proximal and distal ligation of the radial artery&#44; since it was chronically thrombosed &#40;Figure 2&#41; and the vascularisation of the hand was ensured by the continuity of the ulnar and interosseous arteries&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The postoperative period went without incident&#46; Upon discharge&#44; the patient&#8217;s humeral and ulnar pulses were constant&#44; with good perfusion in the hand&#46; A histological analysis confirmed that this was indeed a true aneurysm of the radial artery&#46; One year following treatment&#44; the patient is asymptomatic and without complications&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">DISCUSSION</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">True arterial aneurysms in the peripheral arteries are rare&#44; and only 5&#37; of them are located in the arms&#46; They are most commonly associated with local traumas and systemic diseases &#40;atherosclerosis&#44; giant cell arteritis&#44; and fibromuscular dysplasia&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> The scarcity of this pathology makes it difficult to evaluate its epidemiological and clinical characteristics&#46; In AVF created for haemodialysis&#44; sporadic cases of true arterial aneurysms have been described&#44; primarily in the axillary or humeral arteries and following ligation of an AVF in the elbow after kidney transplantation&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> In transplant recipients with well-functioning grafts after a reasonable period of time&#44; ligation of an AVF for haemodialysis is a controversial procedure&#46; However&#44; it is usually performed in order to avoid complications such as oedema&#44; vascular access steal syndrome&#44; high cardiac output&#44; thrombosis&#44; venous aneurysms&#44; pseudoaneurysms&#44; bleeding&#44; and aesthetic defects&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;4</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The diagnosis of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms tends to be clinical&#44; in the presence of a pulsating mass with progressive growth in the area of the vascular access&#46; Pulses distal to the lesion may or may not be present&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> A Doppler ultrasound may reveal flow in the aneurysmal sac&#44; thrombosis&#44; or haematoma&#46; In unclear cases&#44; a CTA scan or magnetic resonance can be useful&#46; Fistulography may be indicated if the aforementioned techniques do not provide sufficient information&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> and can be especially useful for planning surgical treatment&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">True arterial aneurysms must be quickly treated due to the risk of local and systemic complications&#44; including embolisation&#44; thrombosis&#44; skin erosion and infection&#44; bleeding&#44; and compression of adjacent nervous structures&#44; producing paraesthesia&#44; pain&#44; and reduced mobility&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> The treatment of choice is a resection of the aneurysm and arterial reconstruction<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span> in order to guarantee adequate perfusion of the limb after the aneurysm has been excluded from circulation&#46; Another option is endovascular treatment&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span> In our case&#44; we opted for resection and ligation of the radial artery&#44; since it was chronically obstructed and the perfusion of the hand was guaranteed by the ulnar and interosseous arteries&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Venous aneurysms do not require treatment unless they are associated with severe stenosis&#44; necrosis&#44; or skin disorders and there is a risk of rupture of the aneurysm&#46; Severe stenosis can be treated with angioplasty&#46; If necrosis or the risk of aneurysmal rupture appears&#44; a surgical review is necessary&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Pseudoaneurysms are ruptures contained by the soft tissue that occur primarily in puncture sites&#46; Pseudoaneurysms of PTFE &#40;polytetrafluoroethylene&#41; prostheses can also be treated using percutaneous or surgical approaches&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> In the absence of infection&#44; a local repair can ensue by suturing the graft defect or by graft interposition&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;8</span> To conclude&#44; we would like to point out that aneurysmal dilations are complications that can jeopardise both the viability of the vascular access and the life of the patient&#46; As such&#44; it is essential to make a correct differential diagnosis between aneurysms &#40;arterial and venous&#41; and pseudoaneurysms for proper treatment planning&#44; since the appropriate treatment varies with each case&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conflicts of interest</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors affirm that they have no conflicts of interest related to the content of this article&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;11347&#95;16025&#95;30607&#95;en&#95;f1&#95;811347&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="11347_16025_30607_en_f1_811347.jpg" alt="Physical examination"></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Figure 1&#46;
