Abstract
The dilemma of creating a fistula in patients without a use-able cephalic vein can be addressed by basilic vein transposition, yet results of the classic single-stage procedure are inconsistent and surgeon utilization of this procedure is variable. This article describes a two-staged technique for basilic vein transposition. The two-staged technique is likely to facilitate higher fistula rates in patients unable to have a direct fistula, and warrants consideration by surgeons striving to achieve higher fistula rates.
