AV nicking: The most commonly accepted belief is that the crossing phenomenon was due to venous compression by a thickened arteriole within the shared sheath (the Gunn sign). Impeded circulation results in a dilated or swollen vein peripheral to the crossing, causing hourglass constrictions on both sides of the crossing and aneurysmal-like swellings. 6, record 1, English, - Gunn%27s%20crossing%20sign
