Abstract
We describe a new vascular access grafting technique featuring end-to-end anastomosis to a deep vein in the forearm, designed to create a functional arteriovenous fistula in the forearm of patients whose subcutaneous veins are not usable for this purpose because of occlusion or attenuation. This new technique offers a valuable option in this setting.
