Femororenal arteriovenous graft: a viable option for hemodialysis access.
There has been a significant increase in the number of patients with end-stage renal disease. The limited number of kidney transplants necessitates that most patients become dependent upon chronic dialysis. Due to the numerous complications associated with temporary access catheters, permanent arteriovenous access is more beneficial for long-term vascular access. However, with the restricted availability of sites for permanent vascular access, it is important to have a variety of possibilities. In this case report, we present an alternative choice for an arteriovenous graft, left common femoral artery to left renal vein, in a patient with limited vascular access options.
