  • Title: Saphenous to popliteal arteriovenous fistulas as a suitable alternative in chronic hemodialysis.
    Author: Ryan JJ, Perkins JD.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1989 Jun; 168(6):550-1. PubMed ID: 2727885.
    Abstract:
    The saphenous to popliteal arteriovenous fistula is a suitable alternative in those patients requiring permanent hemodialysis after all sites of the upper extremities have been exhausted. The procedure is safe, easy to perform and allows a long and easily accessible site for venipuncture. It may be used in both adult and pediatric patients.
