The brachio-basilic vein arteriovenous (AV) fistula is increasingly used as a secondary method for haemodialysis vascular access. The conventional surgical technique of brachio-basilic vein AV fistula creation consists of a long incision with dissection of the basilic vein and transposition of it to a subcutaneous anterior position in the upper arm. The aim of this study was to investigate whether minimal invasive basilic vein dissection with an endoscopic technique is feasible.
