Abstract Background and Aims Preoperative ultrasound mapping provides information about overall vessel, caliber, flow anatomic variations, useful for hemodialysis (HD) vascular access planning. High bifurcation of the brachial artery (HBBA) is one such established early upon fetal development. Its implications in arteriovenous HD creation are fairly unknown. The present work aims to characterize prevalence demographic characteristics patients presenting with HBBA study its impact planning,...
