Arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis in 100 consecutive patients.

Abstract:

:Arteriovenous fistulas were performed in 100 patients over a three year period with a 90 per cent overall success rate. Various technics for construction of the fistula using autologous veins are discussed, with emphasis on pre- and intraoperative assessment of vessel condition and its relation to the prevention of immediate and delayed failures.
