Additionally, limited suitable AVF sites, due to patient anatomy, vessel quality, and prior access exhaustion, necessitate exploration of novel options. This cadaveric proof-of-concept study introduces the anterior interosseous artery-cephalic vein as a novel AVF site and evaluates the feasibility of a 3D-printed sutureless anastomotic device, the Vaso-Stent, compared to conventional handsewn techniques. Fresh-frozen cadaveric upper limbs were procured to test the surgical feasibility of the proposed AVF model. Surgical exposure of the interosseous artery and adjacent cephalic vein were uncomplicated. A 3D-printed Vaso-Stent was manufactured and facilitated efficient anastomosis in under 1\u00a0min, compared with the 4.5\u00a0min required for a standard handsewn technique. The device demonstrated ease of placement, robust structural integrity, and resistance to tensile forces. These findings highlight that the Vaso-Stent can provide a simple alternative for AVF creation that reduces operative time and highlight the anterior interosseous artery-cephalic vein configuration as a new and unique hemodialysis access opportunity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15533506251383671","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,1]],"date-time":"2025-10-01T10:18:11Z","timestamp":1759313891000},"page":"186-189","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cadaveric Feasibility of A 3D-Printed Vaso-Stent for Sutureless Anterior Interosseous Artery\u2013Cephalic Vein Anastomosis: A Novel Approach to Arteriovenous Access Creation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3795-2494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Saffari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esther","family":"Ochoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8239-6966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Colchado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"},{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3628-0952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amy","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Justin M.","family":"Sacks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6443-4527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed A.","family":"Zayed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"},{"name":"Washington University in St. Louis"},{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"},{"name":"Washington University in St. Louis"},{"name":"Washington University in St. Louis"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0714-1140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaowei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)61601-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2024.0535"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41581-020-0333-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","first-page":"10","volume-title":"Stent and stent-graft Use in Arteriovenous Dialysis Access","author":"McLennan G","year":"2016","unstructured":"McLennan G.
