Abstract :
It seems that side-to-side anastomosis for creation of elbow arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) provides large room for insertion of the hemodialysis needles. However, there is concern about enough dilation of the veins around the elbow and some authors disrupt venous valves distal to the anastomosis to augment retrograde flow to the anastomosis.
