Objective: Native arteriovenous fistula is the choice vascular acces for chronic hemodialysis due to its longevity, low complication rate and mortality compared to arteriovenous bypasses and catheters. The aim of our study is to present our surgical experience, to evaluate our results and show the main complications. Methods: We report our experience of 604 arteriovenous fistulas created in 400 patients undergroing hemodialysis for chronic renal failure. The mean fellow up period varied one day to eight years. Results: We have observed 25% of primary thrombosis and 16% of secondary thrombosis, there were two cases of local sepsis. Conclusion: We conclude that the Cimino-Brescia fistula is superior to any other type of vascular access in patients with renal failure.
