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 …

Optimal vascular access planning begins when the patient is in the predialysis stages of
CKD. The choice of optimal vascular access for an individual patient and determining timing …

Background Hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are suboptimally used primarily due
to problems with maturation, early thrombosis, and patient nonacceptance. An endovascular …

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

The growing proportion of individuals suffering from chronic kidney disease has
considerable repercussions for both kidney specialists and primary care. Progressive and …

Increasing numbers of patients are being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD),
and the demand for on haemodialysis (HD) is rising. Arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) remain …

Objective Autogenous arteriovenous hemodialysis accesses (arteriovenous fistulas [AVFs])
are preferred for chronic hemodialysis access. Preoperative vein map** by duplex …

Background Preoperative ultrasound map** is routinely used to select vessels meeting
minimal threshold diameters for surgical arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation but fails to …

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

Objectives The aim was to study primary failure, maturation times, and survival of common
arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) to aid planning for vascular access, and to assess which …
