In the course of this experimental work it occurred to us that the flow of blood through the kidneys might be diminished by constructing an artificial opening between the renal artery and the renal vein so that part of the arterial blood would be diverted into the vein without passing through the kidney.

Since Carrel published his description² of a uniformly satisfactory technic for making a vascular anastomosis, studies of the effects of experimentally produced arteriovenous fistulas have been reported by many authors.
