ABSTRACT
Pseudoaneurysm is damage to
the arterial wall, contained by
the surrounding hematoma and
neighboring structures, with
turbulent blood flow, which
maintains communication with the
lumen of the affected vessel. The
present study describes a 57-yearold
male patient who was admitted
with a diagnosis of left cephalic
humeral arteriovenous fistula
pseudoaneurysm. The false aneurysm
was excised, and a new fistula was
created with a vascular prosthesis.
The patient was readmitted in the
fifth month with a giant pulsatile
mass at the surgical site. Surgical
exploration was performed, excision
of the recurrent pseudoaneurysm and
a new left humerus-basilic fistula with
saphenous vein. He is progressing
favorably, performing dialysis two
years after the last surgery without
complications.
