Abstract

Venous ulcer as a complication of ankle arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis is rarely reported. It poses a challenge between ulcer healing and fistula preservation. We report our experience in the management of venous ulcers secondary to an ankle arteriovenous fistula in a hemodialysis patient.
