BASILIC VEIN TRANSPOSITION ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA IN THE FOREARM

Abstract

he study was performed from October 2010 till May 2013. Data were collected throw a collecting sheet for every patient of the 50 patients (Fig 41), and 2 master sheets ; one for the patient group [Group (A)](fig54), and the other for the control group [Group (B)] (fig55), including patient age, sex, limb orientation, Allen test, pre and postoperative duplex results, surgical and during hemodialysis accessibility and AVF maturity.
