A bovine shunt, inserted between the radial artery and cephalic vein in the upper arm for access during chronic hemodialysis, caused a distal, ischemic neuropathy in 2 patients. There were electrophysiological signs of axonal degeneration of motor and sensory nerve fibers in the patient with severe ischemia, and, of only sensory fibers in the patient with mild ischemia. Thenar muscle blood flow studies using 133Xe were a useful measure of altered tissue perfusion. Recovery was incomplete in both cases, despite banding of the graft and improved tissue perfusion in the severe case.
