Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) created using native vessels is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis. AVF is associated with a lower incidence of complications and longer survival compared to prosthetic grafts or central venous catheters. Nephrologists and vascular surgeons are facing growing challenges in finding suitable native vessels for creating a well-functioning and consistently patent AVF. This difficulty arises due to the increasing prevalence of advanced age and comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus and vascular disease, among patients requiring dialysis.

摘要

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) created using native vessels is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis. AVF is associated with a lower incidence of complications and longer survival compared to prosthetic grafts or central venous catheters. Nephrologists and vascular surgeons are facing growing challenges in finding suitable native vessels for creating a well-functioning and consistently patent AVF. This difficulty arises due to the increasing prevalence of advanced age and comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus and vascular disease, among patients requiring dialysis.
