BASILIC VEIN TRANSPOSITION FOR MULTIPLE FAILED ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULAS - OUR EXPERIENCE

Transposition of the basilic vein for arteriovenous fistula: an endoscopic approach.

The creation of a functional hemodialysis fistula in patients who develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has critical importance. The majority of surgeons would agree that a primary radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula is the procedure of choice in new dialysis patients. But in patients who lack adequate forearm vasculature secondary procedures are indicated. Currently, in the United States, mor...

A modified technique of basilic vein transposition for haemodialysis.

OBJECTIVE To modify the technique of basilic vein transposition for vascular accesss for haemodialysis aiming at better maturation rate, longer survival of fistula and lesser complications. STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Shaikh Zayed Hospital and Omer Hospital, Lahore, from February 2008 to July 2011. METHODOLOGY Patients referred for basilic vein transposition for ...

Basilic Vein Transposition Used as a Tertiary Vascular Access for Hemodialysis: 15 Years of Experience

INTRODUCTION The quality of the life in patients requiring long term hemodialysis is directly proportional to the long-term patency of their vascular access. Basilic vein transposition for vascular access (BAVA) represents a suitable option for creating a tertiary native vascular access for hemodialysis on the upper extremities for patients requiring long term hemodialysis. The purpose of the s...

Basilic vein transposition should be the first option

Multiple dural arteriovenous fistulas.

Four patients with multiple intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) at separate sites were treated by endovascular techniques (transarterial and/or transvenous embolization), surgery (excision or isolation), radiotherapy, or combinations, according to the pathophysiological condition. All lesions in two patients were obliterated completely without neurological deficit. There were resi...
