Evaluation of vascular access using cryopreserved jugular vein [experimental study]

ABSTRACT

Background: While considering the rise in the mean age of the chronic renal failure [CRF] patients and increasing frequency of those who need constant hemodialysis, the creation of a native arteriovenous fistula [AVF] is not possible, which could be due to the inaccessibility of the superficial veins. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the vascular access, using cryopreserved jugular vein
