For patients undergoing hemodialysis, arteriovenous fistula composition is an important life-related surgery. End-stage renal ...

Ultrasound was useful to assess the likelihood of arteriovenous fistula maturation, with arteriovenous fistula blood flow, diameter and depth as “moderate” predictors of unassisted and overall ...

The study, "Prediction of arteriovenous fistula clinical maturation from postoperative ultrasound measurements: Findings from the Hemodialysis Fistula Maturation Study," was published online ahead ...

Certain parameters measured by ultrasound helped predict the success of an arteriovenous fistula, the preferred type of hemodialysis vascular access, in individual patients.

In a study, arteriovenous fistula blood flow, diameter, and depth were the most informative parameters. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) blood flow, diameter, and depth, assessed by ultrasound ...

An arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula) is a crucial lifeline for people undergoing hemodialysis. It is a surgical connection made between an artery and a vein, usually in the arm, which allows easy ...

The Arteriovenous (AV) fistula, a surgically constructed link between an artery and a vein, is the gold standard of dialysis access. Read on to learn why it is preferred over other options and how ...

Primary autogenous arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are the preferred means of vascular access for hemodialysis. The minimally invasive endoscopic approach reduces a two-stage surgery to a single stage.

Tonelli et al. identified studies that used access blood-flow measurements or duplex ultrasound, and found only four publications of native fistulas and seven of synthetic grafts that met their ...

An arteriovenous fistula is considered the best type of vascular access for haemodialysis. The preferred way of creating such access is to surgically join an artery and vein together in the distal ...
