  • Title: Thrombotic arm edema as a complication of subclavian vein catheterization and arteriovenous fistula formation for hemodialysis.
    Author: Glaze RC, MacDougall ML, Wiegmann TB.
    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 1986 May; 7(5):439-41. PubMed ID: 3706298.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of persistent tense edema of the upper extremity following the surgical creation of an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis access. This was the result of poor venous return secondary to thrombosis of the subclavian vein. The thrombosis occurred after previous subclavian vein cannulation for hemodialysis.
