ABSTRACT
Current vascular access (VA) practice adopts arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) as first option for haemodialysis, relegating arteriovenous grafts (AVG) for patients with exhausted upper limb venous patrimony. The Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow graft (HeRO®) is a device assuring direct venous outflow to the right atrium, thus avoiding central venous obstructive disease. Its use together with early access grafts avoids the need for central venous catheters (CVC) bridging periods. We report the deployment of the HeRO device using a previous stentgraft as pathway for the placement of the outflow component, in a patient with no-option for further autogenous upper limb access. This technique spared the usual central vein's exit point for the HeRO graft and, using an early-access dialysis graft, allowed for next-day successful haemodialysis.
