Anyone use an angiocath for fistula cannulation? If so what is the brand name and who makes it? A Vascular Surgeon asked me this question. The angiocath would be used with a fistula that is hard to stick. It is very exciting to have a Vascular Surgeon express interest in cannulation. Teamwork can find solutions to so many hard vascular access issues!! Thanks Dr. for asking the question and I am sure this group can offer some suggestions!

Dr. Pierratos at the University of Tornto is using an angiocath device for his nocternal program. He will be at ASN. he also has an abstract submitted that references this.

See you in Miami !
