[Axillo-axillary access in hemodialysis].

Axillo-axillary angio-access can be an alternative device (bovine graft or synthetic graft) for dialysis patients among whom upper arm peripheral veins are impracticable or previous fistulas are thrombose. This procedure was used in seven dialysis patient (length of dialysis: 52.2 +/- 40.6 months) among whom forty one angio access were done. Except one immediate failure, these access were patent until, either the death of patients or the achievement of a cadaveric renal graft. The clinical and hemodynamic tolerance were perfect.
