Summary The subcutaneous fistula according to Cimino‐ Brescia was used in three children, 14, 13 and 7 years of age, for regular haemodialysis up to 25 months. No adverse effects on the central or local circulation were recorded, and no significant difference appeared in the growth of the fistula limb compared with that of the contralateral. The repeated percutaneous punc‐ tures have given no significant technic 81 or psychological problems to the patients nor to the nurses.
