Endoscopic vein harvest remains underused in single-stage brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula creation. We analyzed our results with the use of this technique a cohort predominantly obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) patients. Demographics, intraoperative details, and outcomes for all consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic-assisted creation between 2020 2022 at single institute were retrospectively. The primary technical success, maturation, assisted secondary patency rates.
