Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous fistula is considered as a lifeline for chronic kidney patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. OBJECTIVE: To study the outcome of ligation of the accessory vein causing hyperperfusion and ischemia of the ipsilateral limb. METHOD: ology: A single institution, single surgeon, in-hospital, retrospective case series of patients presented with alarm symptoms in postoperative period following arteriovenous fistula. RESULTS: A total of 800 AVF were created between 2016 and 2019, out of which 6/800 (0.75 %) patients presented with alarm symptoms related to venous hypertension and underwent accessory vein ligation. All showed normal recovery with complete resolution of symptoms postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Timely ligation of the accessory vein in patients with arteriovenous fistula with accessory vein related alarm symptoms showed salvage of lifeline and limb with no residual complications during follow-up.
