 | | The basilic vein exposed by a long medial incision, starting from the upper region of the cubital fossa and extending 10-15 cm proximally along the arm under local anesthesia or axillary block in elderly and general anesthesia in children. |
 | | After finishing the AV fistula, the deep part of the basilic vein was superficialized to the subcutaneous tissue by closing the superficial fascia of the arm with 2.0 Vicryl under the vein. |
 | | The basilic vein is a good access since it has a long course, running from the wrist at the ulnar site and ascending upward to anastomose with median and cephalic veins to become the axillary vein (9). |
