Objective Basilic vein transposition is recommended in patients who are not candidates for a
radial or brachial artery to cephalic vein fistula for dialysis access. Both one-stage and two …

Introduction A brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (BB-AVF) can provide access for
haemodialysis in patients who are not eligible for a more superficial fistula. However, it is …

Background Long-term patency of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) is critical for hemodialysis
vascular access. We compared the efficacy of a one-stage vs two-stage approach to …

Objective Basilic vein transposition (BVT) fistulas may be performed as either a one-stage or
two-stage operation, although there is debate as to which technique is superior. This study …

Basilic vein transposition (BVT) fistulae are increasing in prevalence in the United States.
We examined outcomes of BVT fistulae created in a single stage compared to those created …

In the absence of suitable cephalic vein, the brachiobasilic vein complex represents the best
option for arteriovenous access. However, the basilic vein is too deep to cannulate and …

Objective An upper arm brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (BBAVF) is a reliable
autogenous hemodialysis access created with a one-stage or two-stage technique. Although …

Background There is ongoing debate about the use of transposed basilic vein (TBV) fistula
and the choice between it and prosthetic arteriovenous graft (AVG). This paper reviews the …
