PROCEDURE
Repair pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula.
FINDINGS
The pseudoaneurysm appeared to be a side of a venous side branch where *the tie necrosed a vein or it rough* due to arterial pressure over time.
I can't understand what the doctor is saying. Does this sentence make any sense to anybody?
Thank you in advance for any help.
