Vascular Factors Predicting Success Rate of Arterio-Venous Fistula Creation after Modification or Addition

Abstract

Arterio-venous fistula (AVF) creation remains the preferred method of vascular access for hemodialysis patients due to its advantages in long-term functionality and reduced complication rates compared to other forms of vascular access. However, the success rate of AVF creation can be influenced by several vascular factors. This study investigates vascular factors that predict the success rate of AVF creation, particularly after modifications or additions to standard techniques. The study identifies key factors such as vessel diameter, flow characteristics, and patient demographics that contribute to successful AVF maturation. Results show that certain vascular features significantly increase the likelihood of successful fistula creation, offering potential for improving patient outcomes in hemodialysis therapy.
