Abstract
Superficialization of arteriovenous fistulae allows for improved dialysis access allowing for prolonged utilization and more efficient dialysis treatment. Multiple methods are described for superficializing arteriovenous fistulae, and minimizing the surgical intervention is advantageous for patient recovery and potentially improved outcomes. We describe a novel technique of superficialization of an upper extremity arteriovenous fistula employing ultrasound-guided liposuction. This article describes the suction lipectomy technique and the tools necessary for superficialization of an upper extremity arteriovenous fistula.
