We report a female patient, with obstructed right femoral and right brachiocephalic vein, narrowed left femoral vein, left brachiocephalic vein and superior vena cava, due to long-term catheterization for dialysis. Angioplasty and synthesized graft transplant were successfully performed. The new access withstood early cannulation only 3 days after the procedure. Angioplasty can ameliorate existing stenosis and enable permanent access creation, while an artificial graft may provide faster maturation than documented.

Anomalous brachiocephalic vein (ABCV) is a rare entity of head and neck venous channel variations and malformations. Amongst the five subtypes of ABVC, double left brachiocephalic vein (DLBCV) is the rarest. We present the case of a 1-year-11-month-old syndromic child, who had global developmental delay (GDD) with Sprengel deformity and failure to thrive (suspected Klippel Feil phenotype), who presented to us for the cardiac evaluation.

This case report describes a surgical treatment combined with interventional therapy for a patient with refractory hemodialysis access combined with catheter-related right atrial thrombosis (CRAT). During surgery, an artificial graft was established from the left brachiocephalic vein to the right atrium and the right atrial thrombus was removed. After the operation, the tunneled cuffed catheter (TCC) was replaced with digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
