Abstract the purpose of this work was to compare between the short term results of immediate and delayed superficialization of brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula created for long term haemodialysis in patients with end stage renal disease. The maintenance of haemodialysis access continues to be one of the most challenging clinical problems facing vascular surgeons today. Since chronic haemodialysis has become available to older and sicker patients, more innovative methods of vascular access have been developed out of necessity . Also , with improved medical therapy, patients are living longer on dialysis than ever before. |
