Arteriovenous Fistula - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical exhibit illustrates a procedure for creating an arteriovenous fistula between the basilic vein and brachial artery. The first image describes the initial incisions. The next three images show the dissection and exposure of the basilic vein and brachial artery, the clipping and ligation of the basilic vein, and the transposition of the basilic vein into the subdermal tissue. The final graphic depicts the end result after an end to side anastomosis of the vein and artery, which forms the fistula.
