Selective two-stage basilic and cephalic vein transpositions can significantly improve the rate of fistula construction

摘要

INTRODUCTION:Modified proximal radial artery arteriovenous fistula (MPRAVF) can be used to improve the success and patency of basilic vein transposition (BVT) and cephalic vein transposition (CVT). In the present study, surgical experience with patients requiring a two-stage BVT or CVT using MPRAVF as the first stage was reviewed.
