title: [Creation of arterio-venous fistulas in patients chronically treated with hemodialysis].
abstract: The authors present a 5-year experience in formation of the arterio-venous fistulas for hemodialysis. Analysed material includes 58 fistulas in 40 patients. Fistulas were formed twice or more times in 22% of the patients. Thrombus in the fistula was the most frequent complication (10.3%). The authors form arterio-venous fistula "of choice" in the peripheral portion of the forearm anastomosing radial artery with cephalic vein "side-to-end". Such a procedure in other portions of the arm is related to a higher risk of failure. Intra-arterial subtraction angiography is of significant help in the selection of the tactics of secondary operations forming fistula.
