Recent years have witnessed significant transformations in cardiovascular medicine, driven
by the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). This scoping review was conducted to …

For hemodialysis patients, arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency determines whether
adequate hemofiltration can be achieved, and directly influences clinical outcomes. Here …

Background The aim of this study was to systematically retrieve and evaluate published risk
prediction models for autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure post‐formation in …

Objective Radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas have been historically perceived as requiring
multiple follow-up procedural interventions to achieve maturation and maintain patency …

Objective: Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines discourage
ongoing access salvage attempts after two interventions prior to successful use or more than …

Background Inflammation has been associated with vascular access (VA) dysfunction. The
adipocytokine leptin can directly induce pro‐inflammatory T helper 1 immune responses and …

Background We used computer-assisted image analysis to determine whether preexisting
histological features of the cephalic vein influence the risk of non-maturation of wrist fistulas …

Objective: Failure-to-mature and early stenosis remains the Achille's heel of hemodialysis
arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. The maturation and patency of an AVF can be …

Background A mature arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred hemodialysis access
owing to its durability and lower risk of complications. Various factors have been implicated …

The goal of this study was to expand our previously created prediction tool (PREDICT-AVF)
and web app by estimating long-term primary and secondary patency of radiocephalic AVFs …
