Objectives To compare two approaches to hemodialysis arterio-venous fistula (AVF)
creation, and to evaluate the benefit of expanding wrist-AVF selection criteria. Background …

This paper discusses the development of an integrated approach for the creation and
maintenance of arteriovenous access (AVA), under the direction of a dedicated vascular …

Background: To evaluate the different modalities of surgical procedures in the treatment of
failed vascular accesses for hemodialysis. With regards to the confounding variables like …

In many centres patients presenting for primary access proceed directly to arteriovenous
(AV) fistula formation after careful physical examination. If there is a satisfactory radial pulse …

BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula formation is not always easy to perform in
hemodialysis patients because of poor preservation of veins due to repeated venipuncture …

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are more susceptible to infection due to defects in
the immune system, particularly at the skin barrier and in cellular immunity [1]. On the other …

BACKGROUND: It is very important for hemodialysis in patients with end stage renal
disease to obtain vascular access that resists repeated punctures and maintains adequate …
