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

Abstract The Fistula First Initiative has strongly encouraged nephrologists, vascular access
surgeons, and dialysis units in the United States to make valiant efforts to increase fistula …

Dialysis vascular access management in the United States changed significantly after
National Kidney Foundation-Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (NKF-KDOQI) …

BACKGROUND: Lok et al previously reported a risk equation for arteriovenous fistula (AVF)

Background Haemodialysis treatment requires reliable vascular access. Optimal access is
provided via functional arteriovenous fistula (fistula), which compared with other forms of …

Constructing vascular access for hemodialysis causes changes in blood flow to the
extremity, which can lead to distal ischemia. Ischemic steal syndrome is manifested by pain; …
