- Abstract
Background. Fistula access in chronic haemodialysis patients is recommended. The first and second choice for location of fistula placement is radial-cephalic followed by the brachiocephalic fistula. Fistula access using the cephalic vein often results in cephalic arch stenosis that is less common in diabetics for unclear reasons. The objective of the current study is to determine if geometry of the cephalic arch differs between diabetics and non-diabetics.
