[Hemasite: a means of vascular access for chronic hemodialysis].
Hemasite is a prosthetic device made of titanium and destined to be inserted in an arterialized circuit, thus constituting an elegant and comfortable means of performing chronic haemodialysis. It would be wrong to reject it because its price is still high, but it should not be used as first-choice device. Three patients in our centre have been equipped with hemasite for periods of 18, 5 and 2 months respectively.
