  • Title: [Modification of the in situ saphenous vein technique as vascular access for chronic hemodialysis treatment. Technical note].
    Author: Simoni G, Decian F.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1992 Feb; 47(3-4):121-3. PubMed ID: 1565266.
    Abstract:
    A modification of the "in situ" saphenous vein graft above the knee is used to perform vascular access for maintenance haemodialysis when the upper arms are no more suitable. This technique is easy to perform with only one vascular anastomosis and the above knee saphenous vein is entirely available for venipuncture. The possible use of the Fogarty catheter form both sides and the convenient cost-benefit rate make this method indeed interesting.
