Abstract
Subclavian vein stenosis is a classical complication of longterm venou s catheterization in hemodialysis. We report the case of a 74 years-ol d woman, operated for multiple arteriovenous fistulae, admitted to hos pital with upper-limb oedema. Venous angiography demonstrated subclavi an stenosis. Surgical treatment was performed by transposition of the external jugular vein onto the subclavian vein with a good result.
