Introduction: We review our experience with autologous veins Superficialization (Spf), to establish the actual possibilities of this kind of vascular access in our area. Methods: Between January/2001 and January/2008, Spf was performed in 48 patients. Mean follow-up time was 18.8 (0.2-75.7) months. Primary failure rate was recorded; primary and secondary permeability were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method; and its possible associations with several variables were analyzed. Results: the maturity rate was 97,9%; and the rate of primary failure 2,0%. After Spf, mean time of primary and secondary permeability were 65 months and 67months, respectively. Four vascular thrombosis were observed. None of the presurgery variables analyzed (age; sex; diabetes mellitus; ipsilateral central catheter; the number of previous VA attempts; and obesity; were significantly associated with maturity rate, primary or secondary permeabilities. Conclusion: the Spf can be a good option alternative to the use of prosthetic grafts or permanent central vascular catheters.
