BACKGROUND Since 1999 to 2003 we have tried to perform an antebraquial "loop" PTFE fistula (PTFEa) as first vascular access for hemodialysis in patients without suitable superficial venous system. METHODS We have performed a prospective study to analyze the results (permeability and complications) with this approach. RESULTS We could perform 44 PTFEa in 46 consecutive patients (in two cases we used the axillary vein as return vessel). Early failure was 0%. One year primary and secondary permeability were 66% and 90% respectively. CONCLUSIONS PTFEa is a good solution as first vascular access in patients without a suitable superficil venous system.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
