| Popis: | Percutaneous salvage of failing arteriovenous grafts with diffuse disease or occlusion in the venous outflow remains an issue with no ideal solution. The present report describes a method of percutaneous creation of vascular bypasses in a patient with a failing graft. The patient had a long-segment stenosis in the venous outflow of a brachial-cephalic dialysis graft, and the graft was salvaged by conversion to a brachial-basilic graft. Notably, this method allowed the bypass to safely traverse a long distance (20 cm), and at 8 months, the graft remained functional and free of complications. In principle, this approach can be applied to different situations in which superficial bypass conduits are desired. |
