The aim of this literature review is to assess brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (BBAVF) for haemodialysis as an alternative for arteriovenous graft (AVG) in the upper arm. BBAVF, first described by Dagher in 1976, can be created as a one- or two-stage procedure. The twostage procedure allows the utilization of a basilic vein of small diameter, which, when arterialized, can be transposed into the subcutaneous tunnel after a few weeks...

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) in the lower limbs are rare disease entities usually caused by penetrating injuries, sporadically developing spontaneously. We present the case of a 74-year-old man suffering from a peripheral arterial disease, in whom a fistula between the popliteal vein and the deep femoral artery branches was disclosed during angiography. The patient denied any trauma in the past...

Przewlekłą niewydolnością nerek (PNN) nazywa się zespół objawów chorobowych, który rozwija się w wyniku utraty nefronów. Etiologia PNN jest wieloczynnikowa, do tego zespołu prowadzą zarówno pierwotne, jaki wtórne choroby nerek. Praktycznie każda choroba nerek, z wyjątkiem glikozurii nerkowej, może być jej przyczyną [1]. Obecnie PNN określa się jako przewlekłą chorobę nerek (PChN) i w zależności od wielkości filtracji...

The profunda femoris usually arises from the posterolateral aspect of the femoral artery at a distance of 3.75 cm from the midinguinal point. The medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries normally arise from the profunda femoris. The femoral artery is easily accessible to catheterisation ...

Arteriovenous fistula created from native vessels in the forearm are renowned as the best primary vascular  access for haemodialysis. Despite best outcomes for fistula patency among all the access routes for dialysis,  the procedure of  forearm fistula creation carries a significant risk of complications including failure of spontaneous  maturation, stenoses, or thrombosis. This publication presents principles of patient qualification for  forearm fistula creation, preoperative workup, and postoperative care...
