[Clinical application of fistulation of artery and vein with self-blood vessel transplantation].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical application of fistulation of artery and vein with self-blood vessel transplantation.


METHODS
Seven patients with renal failure were given antebrachial fistulation of artery and vein with great saphenous veins of themselves. The ortho- and pachy-great saphenous vein was chosed after it was cut. The great saphenous vein was passed bridge inside forearm in straight line or morpha-U. The method was anastomosis of the radial artery or brachial artery and cephalic vein, basilic vein or median cubital vein.


RESULTS
The fistulations of artery and vein were successful and all patients were in hemodialysis regularly.


CONCLUSIONS
The fistulation of artery and vein with self-blood vessel transplantation is a convenient, easy, cheap operation. It can coincide with the clinical demand and be used to make up the failure of fistulation or the fistulation that there is no blood vessel in the forearm.
