Abstract

Objective: An aneurysmal fistula can continue to provide hemodialysis access for along time, but giant aneurysms should be operated on to prevent complication. The purpose of this study was to describe our experience of the surgical management of giant venous aneurysms that have developed as a complication of dialysis access.
