Outcomes of arteriovenous fistula reconstruction in vascular access dysfunction.

CONCLUSION: Leaving patients with vascular access dysfunction to fate (no intervention) or AVF ligation is always simpler and easier. However, it should not be forgotten that paternity for vascular access are limited in these patients. We think that the primary target is to demonstrate AVF by physical examination and surgeon-performed detailed US and to make it again available for hemodialysis by reconstructing dysfunctional AVF using the most appropriate surgical strategy. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective, small sample size. PMID: 30899405 [PubMed]
