One hundred radial-cephalic fistulas were surgically created for hemodialysis between April 1970 and September 1973. A side-to-end anastomosis was constructed in 86 per cent of cases. Overall patency interval was 13 months. Factors responsible for shunt failure are outlined. Blood vessel quality and surgical technique are the most important factors in achieving a low failure rate. Use of the fistula for early hemodialysis has not been associated with complications and is advocated.
