Surgical Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus Endarteritis: In a Hemodialysis Arteriovenous Fistula

Surgical Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus Endarteritis: In a Hemodialysis Arteriovenous Fistula Abstract A patient developed Staphylococcus aureus endarteritis complicating a hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula. The principle of quadripolar ligation and excision was successfully applied. Early recognition and surgical treatment of this complication can prevent the development of bacterial endocarditis.

Abstract

Abstract A patient developed Staphylococcus aureus endarteritis complicating a hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula. The principle of quadripolar ligation and excision was successfully applied. Early recognition and surgical treatment of this complication can prevent the development of bacterial endocarditis. References 1.
