objectives the present study aimed to compare the efficacy rate of avfs using two different anastomosis methods; side to side (sts) versus end to side (ets) and to determine whether the different approaches render any preferences or complications. background in candidate patients for permanent hemodialysis or dialysis on a regular basis, an appropriate vascular access has great importance. the ...

Dialysis Access is the “lifeline” for 1.5 million end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients across the world. Effective hemodialysis treatment requires reliable large caliber vascular access. The preferred hemodialysis access is an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) because of its lower infection rate, lower hospitalization rate and relatively longer longevity compared to grafts.(1, 2) However, the prim...

PURPOSE To report a novel technique for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) closure in side-to-side fistulas. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and sixty-two patients with side-to-side AVFs, who were candidates for AVF closure, were randomly divided into two groups: group A (84 patients) who underwent AVF ligature and group B (78 patients) who underwent AVF closure using transvenous endovenorrhaphy t...

BACKGROUND In candidate patients for permanent hemodialysis or dialysis on a regular basis, an appropriate vascular access has great importance. The best permanent access is AVF (arterio venous fistula). Use of a technique to create AVF with better patency seems to be logical. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to compare the efficacy rate of AVFs using two different anastomosis methods; Side...
