Feasibility of Arteriovenous Fistula Creation After Previous Radial Artery Harvesting for Aortocoronary Bypass

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) formation remains the procedure of choice in patients requiring hemodialysis. The feasibility of AVF creation in the setting of prior radial artery harvesting after aortocoronary bypass remains unknown. This investigation elucidates which patients might be candidates for AVF creation despite prior radial artery harvesting.
