Transcutaneous parallel suture plication to fixate a difficult-to-cannulate brachiobasilic fistula: a case presentation

Abstract

We describe a patient with a matured transposed brachiobasilic fistula that was difficult to cannulate due to “rolling” and the inability to fixate. After placing multiple parallel transcutaneous sutures close to the fistula, there were no difficulties with needling. Even after removing the sutures, cannulation went uneventful.
