Arterial stiffness and arteriovenous fistula failure of maturation.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest study to date exploring the association between arterial stiffness and AVF FTM. The measured central and peripheral arterial stiffness parameters were not associated with AVF FTM. Further research is needed to define if non-invasive arterial physiological measurements would be clinically useful in the prediction of AVF FTM. PMID: 27646925 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
