ABSTRACT

Personal experience regarding 92 arteriovenous fistuale carried for the application of the artificial kidney in 70 patients is described. The technical technique is explained and haemodynamic considerations in support of a preference for end-to-end anastomosis are illustrated. A critical assessment is made of the reasons for failure and their prognostic significance as far as subsequent operation is concerned.
