Abstract
Abstract In Romania the prevalence of chronic kidney disease is estimated to be 7% and end-stage renal disease is an increasingly common diagnosis. A long-term, reliable, dependable, and safe method of repeatedly accessing patient’s blood is one of the most difficult challenges for haemodialysis therapy. The best method to date to accomplish vascular access the arterio-venous fistula (AVF). This segment can be accessed with dialysis needles, providing blood for dialysis. We present a case of a 57-year-old man was diagnosed with an end-stage renal disease and occluded distal radial artery. The cephalic vein was transposed and looped in a tunnel created in the volar aspect of the forearm’s subcutaneous tissue with the end to side anastomosis with the proximal radial artery in the antecubital fossa. The fistula matured in 40 days and the flow volume was 1100 mL/min. He continues his dialysis sessions and is included on the national kidney transplant list.
