[Arteriovenous fistulas for extrarenal purification of blood using the brachial artery].
The article analyzes an experience with creation of different variants of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) for the extrahepatic purification of blood by using the humeral artery. The above mentioned AVFs were shown to be expedient in patients with small diameters of the forearm vessels or in cases with no possibility to make AVF in the forearm. It is better to make AVF with the antegrade blood flow in the veins. The use of vascular transplants is indicated when there are no veins in the upper extremity suitable for AVF.
