Axillary necklace graft salvage of a locally infected Haemodialysis with Reliable Outflow (HeRO ®) graft

CONCLUSIONS: The originality of this case was the way in which an axillary necklace inflow graft was connected to the pre-existing venous outflow portion of the HeRO® haemodialysis graft system, allowing the excision of the infected inflow graft at the brachial anastomosis. This technique could be viewed as an effective salvage procedure as it allowed the venous outflow portion of the original graft to remain in situ, minimised tissue damage and enabled the patient to swiftly resume haemodialysis without the need for a line.PMID:38653974 | DOI:10.1177/11297298241235866
