Background Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure to mature (FTM) rates contribute to excessive
dependence on central venous catheters for haemodialysis. Choosing the most appropriate …

Rationale & Objective Optimizing vascular access use is crucial for long-term hemodialysis
patient care. Because vascular access use varies internationally, we examined international …

BACKGROUND: Native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is considered the gold standard of
vascular access for hemodialysis due to its longer survival, fewer complications, lower …

Background Advantages of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF), including long patency and few
complications, were ascertained more than 2 decades ago and may not apply to the …

Background Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred form of hemodialysis vascular
access, but maturation failures occur frequently, often resulting in prolonged catheter use …

Background An autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred hemodialysis
vascular access, but successful creation is hampered by high rates of AVF failure. This study …

The native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is considered the best access for hemodialysis due to
its longer survival and lower complication rates as compared with other forms of vascular …

Background: Understanding the factors associated with successful arteriovenous fistula
(AVF) maturation may provide an opportunity to improve vascular access outcomes …

Background Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis (HD) are often associated with
better outcomes than arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). We aimed to investigate vascular access …

Background: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis
(HD). However, primary AVF dysfunction represents a major barrier to the long-term success …
