Vascular access for hemodialysis: Thomas' shunt. 1986

G Picchi, and F Sogaro, and A Previato Schiesari, and F Dalla Costa

The immediate and long-term results obtained by the use of a Thomas' shunt as a vascular access through which periodical hemodialysis can be performed, are reported. The lower incidence of septic and thrombotic complications due to the iliac instead of the femoral implantation of the shunt, is stressed.
