Vascular access for long-term hemodialysis/hemodiafiltration patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The present results suggest that the ratio of patients with AVG increased with prolonged HD/HDF treatment. AVG has a higher probability of complications and lower patency as compared to AVF, thus careful management is needed. On the other hand, AVG contributes more to a good long prognosis, as it offers efficient dialysis. In cases of vascular deterioration due to long-term hemodialysis, it is inevitable to change from AVF to AVG, thus the ratio of AVG patients is expected to increase in cases of long-term HD/HDF.
