The authors present a technique that uses sheaths introducers, instead of commercial or purpose-built shunts, which can be used through surgical or percutaneous approaches. Three clinical cases are presented where this technique was performed.Results/Conclusion: In the presented cases, this technique reduced time of shunt construction by avoiding artery surgical approach. This technique can facilitate the creation of an intravascular shunt among other than vascular surgeons.
