Intra-Operative Cephalic Vein Distensibility Can Predict Maturation of Radiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistula

These results suggest that the intra-operative cephalic vein distensibility is a predictor of RCAVF maturation. Intraoperative measurement of venous distensibility may be helpful in choosing the most suitable native AVF type for each individual patient, which possibly improves the native AVF maturation.

Transposition of Basilic Vein with Minimal Incision

Basilic vein transposition is a feasible and a good method to make AVF with autogenous vein. Small incision can be applied to basilic vein transposition, which can be less painful and more comfortable to the patients.
