Abstract

A 65-year old woman with end-stage renal disease and insulin-dependent diabetes was admitted for access construction in order to start haemodialysis. There was a lack of suitable veins to construct an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, and the patient underwent placement of a 6-mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) AV bridge graft between the brachial artery and the axillary vein in the left arm.
