title: A grafted arteriovenous fistula between the subclavian artery and ipsilateral internal jugular vein. Case report.
abstract: The case history of a haemodialysis patient with profound hypotension and persistent failures of all blood access devices is presented. A central, high flow, grafted arteriovenous fistula (PTFE) between the subclavian artery and the ipsilateral internal jugular vein is described, and its advantages over previously described central high flow arteriovenous fistulas are discussed.
