J Vasc Access. 2023 Apr 17:11297298231168673. doi: 10.1177/11297298231168673. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA patent vascular access is of crucial importance for patients on dialysis. There is no literature describing the success rate and complications of creating dialysis fistulae in a paretic arm. In addition, the risk for non-maturation of dialysis fistula is thought to be high due to the inactivity, muscle atrophy, vascular changes, and higher risk of thrombosis in paretic limbs. Here we describe a case of a successful creation and maturation of a native dialysis fistula.PMID:37070171 | DOI:10.1177/11297298231168673
