Aneurysms and Pseudoaneurysms in Dialysis Access. A pseudoaneurysm, sometimes called a false aneurysm, occurs when a blood vessel wall or the graft wall is injured, and the blood is contained by the surrounding tissues. In general, an aneurysm is a weak spot in the wall of your access that can expand and eventually burst if not treated.
aneurysm of popliteal artery, aneurysm femoral artery, aneurysm popliteal artery, femoral false aneurysm, left leg artery aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm of femoral artery, and right leg artery aneurysm. This applies to aneurysm: femoral artery and popliteal artery. Psuedoaneurysm is the result of a leaking hole in an artery.
Symptoms of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are similar and can include one or more of the following: Localized enlargement of the vein which is visible to the eye and may progressively grow larger. Increased blood flow through the fistula or graft Thinning of the skin over the fistula or graft A shiny appearance of the skin over the fistula or graft

What Causes an Aneurysm or Pseudoaneurysm? 1 They tend to develop at the site of multiple needle sticks 2 Due to the high blood flow through the fistula or graft, the involved blood vessel may enlarge and expand, predisposing it to an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm
They tend to develop at the site of multiple needle sticks. Due to the high blood flow through the fistula or graft, the involved blood vessel may enlarge and expand, predisposing it to an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm.
For hemodialysis patients, aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are associated with arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and grafts. They can be common and result in serious complications. Studies show that aneurysms occur in between 5% and more than 60% of patients with AV fistulas and grafts. (1)
However, small pseudoaneurysms with narrow necks can sometimes can be treated with an injection of thrombin, a drug used to control minor bleeding, or with ultrasound compression (1, 3, 4). Large pseudoaneurysms, and those that do not resolve using thrombin injections or ultrasound compression may require surgical repair.
Treatment for Aneurysms. Not all aneurysms require treatment. Small, stable aneurysms typically have thick walls and can be monitored to make sure they don’t become larger. You should, however, be concerned about aneurysms that show one or more the following signs: These are all signs that an aneurysm may rupture.
The surgery for these pseudoaneurysms is more extensive than other repairs, and the chance of rupture is high. (2)In general, if the pseudoaneurysm is the result of an infection, the graft should be ligated (tied off) and possibly removed. Aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are not uncommon complications for patients with AV fistulas or AV grafts.
