Abstract

dialysis may not be readily accomplished in some patients who have had recent abdominal surgery, multiple abdominal fistulas, or extreme adhesive peritonitis.The technique described here provides a good compromise, in that those patients with acute renal failure may undergo early haemodialysis with a shunt.The vasculature which is enlarged by the fast flow of the shunt may then be converted to a fistula which can be used immediately for haemodialysis.
