Optimizing venous anastomosis for forearm loop arteriovenous grafts: A comparative analysis of elbow veins and upper arm basilic veins in end-stage kidney disease patients
The primary and secondary patency rates of forearm loop AVG with UA basilic vein anastomosis were not inferior to those with elbow veins anastomosis. UA basilic vein can be a feasible alternative for creating forearm loop AVG when elbow veins are not suitable.
