Iatrogenicarteriovenous fistula in the hand: A case report

Author(s): ShararahAWH, Aldekhayel S, Williams HB

Abstract

Peripheral intravenous cannulation is widely used in medicine. Arteriovenous fistulas are rare complications but their occurrence has never been reported in the hands. We report on a young patient who developed a high flow arteriovenous fistula on the dorsum of her hand two weeks after a failed peripheral intravenous cannulation attempt.
