Vascular access dysfunction is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in
haemodialysis patients, contributing to up to one third of hospitalisations and accounting for …

Although complex geometries are attainable with additive manufacturing (AM), a major
barrier preventing its use in mission-critical applications is the lack of geometric accuracy of …

Although our understanding of the failure mechanism of vascular access for hemodialysis
has increased substantially, this knowledge has not translated into successful therapies …

Neointimal hyperplasia is amongst the major causes of failure of bypass grafts. The disease
progression varies from patient to patient due to a range of different factors. In this paper, a …

Background: Hemodialysis requires needle insertions every treatment. Needle injury
(mechanical or hemodynamic) may cause complications (aneurysms/stenosis) that …

Background and objectives Hyperuricemia plays a major role in the development and
progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Many large observational studies have …

Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the preferred choice of vascular access in hemodialysis
patients; however, complications such as stenosis can lead to access failure or recirculation …

Vascular access is the lifeline of hemodialysis patients. There are great differences in the
establishment and use of vascular access in different countries and regions around the …

A native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice for hemodialysis (HD)
treatment. Compared with other types of vascular access such as grafts and central venous …

The jet of fluid returning to the patient through a hemodialysis venous needle has previously
been reported as a potential source of endothelial damage which can lead to intimal …
