Abstract
The subcutaneous arteriovenous fistula is the method of choice for vascular access for chronic hemodialysis in the vast majority of dialysis centers in the USA and abroad. The Silastic cannula external arteriovenous shunt is an acceptable alternative and is the access of choice for treatment of acute renal failure or drug overdose. Surgeons dealing with these patients must familiarize themselves with both procedures, as well as with the various modifications currently in use in order to offer the best procedure for the particular patient and to make dialysis possible for all patients who need it.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
