摘要：

The arteriovenous (AV) fistula Is the access method of choice for long-term hemodialysis according to DOQI guidelines. Among the recognized complications of upper extremity AV fistulae fashioned for hemodialysis are Infection, aneurysm formation, and high-output left ventricular failure. We describe a novel cardiopulmonary complication-secondary pulmonary hypertension resulting from an aneurysmal brachiocephalic AV fistula. The clinical presentation, Investigation, management, and pathophysiology of this complication are discussed. (C) 2002 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
