Dynamic Remodeling of Human Arteriovenous Fistula Wall Obtained From Magnetic Resonance Imaging During the First 6 Months After Creation Open
The nonmaturation rate of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) is high.1 The direct connection of the AVF vein and artery creates a short path that bypasses the distal high-resistance vasculature, resulting in an immediate increase in the flow ra…

Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation, Functional Patency, and Intervention Rates Open
The findings of this study suggest that AVF remains an accepted hemodialysis access option, although both its maturation and continued use require a moderate number of interventions to maintain patency and treat the associated complication…
