This case report describes the treatment of arteriovenous aneurysm and late vascular complications of native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in a patient with end-stage renal disease. Aneurysm resection was performed and a new vascular access was created at the original site. 8-month follow-up revealed that this treatment was highly successful.
