It is well known that catheters placed in the subclavian or internal jugular veins may develop stenosis in the vein in which the catheter lies. Because the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) relies on good venous outflow, patients with ipsilateral central venous stenosis are subject to the malfunctioning of AVF. Until now, no data were published on patients showing central vein stenosis (CVS) without a previous central venous catheter (CVC) or a pacemaker. In this article, we report on 3 hemodialysis patients manifesting CVS ipslateral to AVF. None of these patients previously had undergone CVC. The stenosis observed had characteristics and symptoms similar to those observed in stenoses consequent to CVC. We concluded that CVS also may occur in subclavian or axillary veins proximal to a working AVF in hemodialysis patients who have never had a CVC and in the absence of compressive phenomena.
