Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation is the preferred method for long-term hemodialysis access. This report describes the novel use of paired brachial veins for the creation of an autogenous AVF in a patient without a traditional superficial venous conduit available. Application of this general concept might serve to expand the options for autogenous AVF creation.
