Description
Summary:The improvement of dialysis therapy and clinical support has increased the life expectancy of patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) over the last years. However, in Brazil, the renal transplant rate cannot follow this growth. This fact, in association with the unavailability of adequate healthcare services in the country, substantially enlarges the use of dual lumen catheters and, consequently, access-related complications. The result is a high rate of patients with access failure, which brings a challenge: how to maintain dialysis in this group? This case report describes a non-conventional surgical approach to create a definite access using abdominal vessels, in an end stage vascular access patient.
