ABSTRACT
Venous rupture is an uncommon complication resulting from dialysis graft interventions. The authors describe a case of axillary vein rupture following angioplasty necessitating placement of a covered stent for the control of hemorrhage.
KEYWORDS
Covered stents - venous angioplasty - venous rupture - hemodialysis access thrombosis
