Comparison of ultrasound scan blood flow measurement versus other forms of surveillance in the thrombosis rate of hemodialysis access: A systemic review and meta-analysis

Conclusion: The surveillance method to measure access flow through USS showed a significant benefit for reducing thrombosis in AVFs. The result encourages adherence to the current guidelines for AVFs. However, no benefit was found regarding AVGs. Recent guidelines with a “one-size-fits-all” approach may be revised to a “tailored-to-risk” approach.
