Surgical or endovascular repair of thrombosed dialysis vascular access: is there any evidence?

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Endovascular and surgical strategies have been used to manage patients with thrombosed vascular access for hemodialysis. We analyzed the evidence to see whether endovascular or surgical treatment has the best outcome in terms of ... Read more...

Brachial vein transposition arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis access.

24 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis, offering lower morbidity, mortality, and cost compared with grafts or catheters. Patients with a difficult access extremity have often lost all superficial ... Read more...

Change in vascular access and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

10 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that a change from central venous catheters to a fistula or graft would improve short-term mortality risk in maintenance hemodialysis patients. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: All ... Read more...
