Variations in the venous pattern of the arm are common. In this case report, we are presenting the variations of the brachial vein and the basilic vein.During the routine dissections which were done by medical undergraduate students, we observed some variations in the veins of the upper limb. In the current case, there was only one brachial vein which accompanied the brachial artery. The basili...

Autogenous arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are considered the most reliable long-term vascular access in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Although AVFs generally require fewer interventions than arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) to maintain patency, some sites of venous stenosis account for a large portion of repeated interventions. A particularly troublesome site within brachiocephalic AVFs is the c...

BackgroundAutogenous arteriovenous fistula creation is the preferred route for vascular access hemodialysis. Although preoperative venous mapping ultrasonography has been advocated as an operative planning adjunct and recently incorporated into Society Vascular Surgery clinical guidelines, controversy remains regarding its usefulness predicting success. The purpose of present retrospective stud...

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...

Background Post-operative upper extremity exercise is recommended to patients with arteriovenous fistulas. It postulated that increased blood flow vessels improves maturation and patency rates. Recent studies favour pre-operative therapy improve the outcomes of fistula creation. Objectives To investigate if increases vessel diameter in undergoing distal Methods 34 planned for radiocephalic crea...
