Abstract

Four attempts to construct an arteriovenous fistula in the arms of a patient with chronic uremia resulted in occlusion of the fistulae. This was caused by superior vena cava syndrome which, in turn, was a late complication of transvenous pacing. A fistula was subsequently successfully constructed in a lower extremity.
