ABSTRACT
Arteriovenous fistula is the abnormal communication between an artery and a vein
with blood return to the cardiac cavities without passing through the capillary bed. The
objective of this work is to describe the characteristics of the arteriovenous fistula of
the hand. Two patients who were admitted to the Arteriology Service of the National
Institute of Angiology and Vascular Surgery in the year 2012 with antecedents of this
disease were studied. On physical examination, the presence of a round shape tumor
in the back of the hand was confirmed. The confirmatory diagnosis of arteriovenous
fistula was given by eco-doppler color, CT angiography and surgery. This last
procedure was initiated, in both cases, by approaching the humeral artery over the
elbow flexure to control, if it occurred, some distal bleeding of the ulnar artery. In the
first case, besides the tumor, there was an arteriovenous communication with the
basilic vein, multiple arteriovenous communications in the hypothenar area and areas
of micro fistulas. In the second case, there was an arteriovenous aneurism of the
superficial palmar arch with vessels of the radial and cubital artery. The patients
evolved favorably, they were discharged from hospital at the third day of the
postoperative phase, and reincorporated to work in two months. Arteriovenous fistula
is a disease that has peculiar characteristics which diagnosis, treatment and evolution
depend on its anatomic location and clinical stage. An early diagnosis and an
appropriate treatment will afford satisfactory results.
