Is there an association between arteriovenous fistulas and axillary artery aneurysms? A report of two cases
Axillary artery aneurysms in patients with a history of AVF are rare but potentially serious complications. The cases highlight the complexity of axillary artery aneurysms and the need for careful evaluation and surgical intervention This strategy is crucial to prevent potential complications and optimize patient outcomes. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise pathophysiology and the potential association between AVF and the subsequent development of axillary artery aneurysms. Increasing awareness among surgeons could enable earlier detection of aneurysms, thereby reducing the risk of complications.
