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 …

Native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice for hemodialysis patients.
Compared with grafts and central venous catheters, AVFs last longer and are associated …

Construction and Repair for Chronic Hemodialysis 2011 update Japanese Society for Dialysis …

Results During this time frame, 317 AVFs were placed in 293 individual patients. The
primary failure rate was 37.1% after excluding patients not initiated on hemodialysis during …

Objective Early thrombosis (ET) contributes to autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF)
failure. We studied patients undergoing AVF placement in the Hemodialysis Fistula …

Background: An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the first-line vascular access pathway for
patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In planning vascular access, it is …

Background and objectives: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred vascular access
for hemodialysis but have a considerable failure rate. This study investigated whether …

Purpose The aim of this study is to determine the optimal range of cephalic vein and radial
artery diameter following preoperative duplex imaging to enhance maturation and primary …

Purpose Although native radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF) is the best vascular
access for hemodialysis (HD), a major obstacle to increase its use is high frequency of …

BACKGROUND: A recent meta-analysis has suggested that patients aged> 65 have worse
outcomes with radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas (RCAVFs) compared with …
