ABSTRACT
Venous thrombectomy and temporary arteriovenous (AV) fistula are performed for the treatment of iliofemoral venous thrombosis. The theory behind creation of an AV fistula is to increase venous flow, thereby maintaining patency. But AV fistula might induce severe peripheral venous hypertension in the condition of proximal venous segment reocclusion. A 62-year-old woman who developed severe peripheral venous hypertension after postthrombectomy AV fistula visited our clinic. We treated this patient with simple ligation of the AV fistula.
