Clinically, a venous aneurysm is seen as a nonpulsatile mass with shrinkage upon elevation and enlargement with dependency. Confirmation of the diagnosis is best made by venography. In the case presented here of a rare aneurysm of the dorsal venous arch, the diagnosis of venous aneurysm was based on the histopathologic and intraoperative findings. If a venous aneurysm is symptomatic, it should be excised, with ligation of all feeder veins. In all cases, accurate preoperative diagnosis and evaluation allows for appropriate surgical planning.

Objective: Brachial artery aneurysms are rare entities that have typically been associated with trauma, infection, arterio-venous fistula creation or connective tissue disorders. These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, but they can also cause local tenderness or thrombo-embolic events. Due to the very low incidence of true brachial artery aneurysms, there are no standardized guidelines on their optimal management.

Background: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in kidney transplant recipients are sometimes closed, either as a policy or due to complications. We collected data on the incidence of complications after AVF closure in a national cohort of transplanted patients.
Methods: Patients who received a kidney transplant between 2000 and 2015 and had a functional AVF that was later ligated or extirpated were included.
