SUCCESSFUL ARTERO VENOUS FISTULA USING CARDICA C-PORT xA SYSTEM IN AN ELDERLY UREMIC PATIENT. A CASE REPORT.

2008

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: In artero venous fistula (AVF) hand-sewn anastomoses are considered the gold standard. These are performed generally with a double running suture. These suturing techniques yeld excellent results, despite being time-consuming, difficult to perform with small vessels, and associated with a significant learning curve. These device are intented to enable rapid, precise and reliable anastomoses in AVF without artery cross-clamping. METHODS: We report the case of a male 65 years old uremic patient with serious atherosclerosis that, in local anesthesia, underwent proximal AVF by mechanical anastomosis between cephalic vein and radial artery without arterious cross-clamping.…
