Özet
Arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication of internal jugular vein catheterization. Few cases have been reported in the literature. This communications result from trauma or medical intervention, most frequently a central venous puncture for hemodynamic monitoring or for parenteral nutrition. We describe a case of a common carotid artery-jugular vein arteriovenous fistula following the insertion of a double-lumen catheter for hemodialysis access. We feel that this complication early should be detected and treated as soon as possible. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
