The authors give an account of their experience with establishment of an arteriovenous fistula for dialysis using interposition with a DIASTAT-GORE prosthesis between the axillary artery and the contralateral axillary or inner jugular vein and its localization on the anterior thoracic wall. The method is apt in patients with a primarily unsuitable or secondarily surgically exhausted autologous circulation of the upper extremities.
