Patient-related factors influencing patency of autogenous brachiocephalic haemodialysis fistulas.

CONCLUSIONS: This study identified several non-modifiable and modifiable factors of interest to the clinician deciding on which type of haemodialysis fistula is most suitable for an individual patient. Meticulous preoperative work-up, a surveillance programme, and a dedicated multidisciplinary team can be of great importance in achieving better patency rates. PMID: 28297047 [PubMed - in process]
