Abstract：
:The proportion of patients on dialysis with multiple access procedures, failed transplant(s), or no suitable sites for conventional arteriovenous (AV) fistula is increasing. We report on 4 patients at our institution requiring unusual measures to achieve vascular access for dialysis. All 4 patients had temporary femoral vein catheters for dialysis, but 3 had tunneled femoral catheters, with 1 patient using this modality of access for 28 months. One patient who had 13 vascular access procedures developed collateral circulation that was amenable to a new autogenous AV fistula. Two patients died of causes unrelated to vascular access, whereas 1 died from infection of an access device. In patients with challenging vascular access requirements, the use of simple procedures such as the insertion of a tunneled femoral catheter should be considered. A thorough assessment must be made before each new access procedure as collateral circulation may present new options.
