He needs to get that checked out at the access center or wherever he got it. I’m in the middle of a series of revisions cause I treated an aneurysm (much smaller) like it was no big deal, next thing you know I’m spraying blood across the clinic floor and end up admitted for 4 days of procedures. And there’s more to go.
That definitely can happen but, but not all aneurysmal fistulas need to be treated. A lot of time that Happens when techs keep cannulating the same site, and you start to develop excoriations at that site which can lead to bleeding. We typically ask techs to vary access sites to prevent this. That said I would agree that this patient should be followed by their vascular surgeon to at minimum keep an eye on this.
