Hemodialysis is currently the most common method of treating chronic renal failure by transferring blood from the patient’s body to a dialysis machine via puncture, and the purified blood is then transferred from the machine to the body to complete the patient’s blood purification. For those patients on long-term dialysis, a surgical procedure is required to create a vascular access for repeat punctures. One method is to directly anastomose the patient’s own artery with a venous vessel to form an arteriovenous fistula for blood retrieval and return in dialysis. However, as the proportion of dialysis patients who are elderly, obese, and diabetic increases, dialysis access can become increasingly depleted. Since 2004, the Department of Vascular Surgery at Peking University First Hospital has used imported ePTFE artificial blood vessels to create an arc-shaped bridge between the patient’s artery and vein to build a life-sustaining “bridge” over the depleted autologous access and rebuild a lifeline for dialysis patients. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and closed with cosmetic sutures, and does not require stitch removal.
