Improved positioning of the upper arm graft fistula for hemodialysis.

Abstract:

:An improved technique is presented for placement of the upper arm graft fistula for hemodialysis. This approach brings the graft anteriorly across the front of the biceps muscle, thereby allowing easier puncture and greater comfort for the patient during dialysis treatment.
