The creation of arterio-venous fistulas by transposition of the upper arm veins

Abstract

Patients who require long-term hemodialysis need long-term vascular access. The transposed autologous vein to brachial artery arteriovenous fistula provides vascular access in the absence of adequate superficial vein. Transposed basilic (brachial) vein to brachial artery fistula have a good long-term patency rate and should be considered early, before prosthetic grafting, in the absence of a suitable superficial veins.
