Echographic landmark of cephalic and collateral accessory vein at forearm in preoperative evaluation for hemodialysis angioaccess.

CONCLUSIONS: CV differs from CAV for its anatomic location at forearm. Such a difference is clearly evident under ultrasound examination, despite any recommendation in ultrasound guidelines. Whether the exclusive use of CV for angioaccess creation can lead to a better outcome will be ascertained by further studies. PMID: 26165813 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
