Vascular access for haemodialysis is key in renal patients both due to its associated
morbidity and mortality and due to its impact on quality of life. The process, from the creation …

A significant number of arteriovenous fistulae (28 to 53%) never mature to support dialysis.
Often, renal physicians and surgeons wait for up to 6 months and even longer hoping that …

BACKGROUND: Hemodialysis vascular access dysfunction currently is a huge clinical
problem. Although arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred form of permanent dialysis …

Although arteriovenous (AV) fistulae are the preferred form of dialysis access, they continue
to have significant problems with both early and late failures. Despite the magnitude of the …

Despite all the progress achieved since Scribner first introduced the arteriovenous (AV)
shunt in 1960 and Cimino and Brescia introduced the native AV fistula in 1962, we have …

OBJECTIVE. In the United States, more than 250,000 patients with end-stage renal disease
are dialyzed through arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). The three most common AVFs are the …
