To present a novel bypass technique for dialysis access in patients with central venous occlusion.
Described a modified subclavian artery-to-right atrium bypass technique.
Utilized a minimally invasive approach through a right anterior mini-thoracotomy.
Employed a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) prosthesis as the conduit.
Successfully created a new dialysis graft in the thorax.
All procedures were technically successful.
