An arteriovenous (AV) fistula connects an artery to a vein in your arm. This provides a stronger access point for the needles from a hemodialysis machine. If you have end stage kidney disease ...

Investigators successfully tested an acellular tissue engineered vessel for hemodialysis vascular access in patients at high-risk for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure.

To successfully perform dialysis, a consistent way of accessing the circulatory system is essential. The AV fistula, a surgically constructed link between an artery and a vein, is the gold ...

These are the most common types of access for dialysis recommended for people with acute kidney problems: AV fistula. Also called an arteriovenous fistula, this is considered the best kind of ...

THE success of chronic hemodialysis in terminal renal failure depends on repeated access to blood vessels that will provide a continuous flow of up to 250 to 300 ml. per minute. A technic was ...

An arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula) is a crucial lifeline for people undergoing hemodialysis. It is a surgical connection ...

Very rarely, you may get complications from hemodialysis, says Uribarri. These include an infected AV fistula or graft, or a blockage from scar tissue. The dialysis needle can also fall out of ...

An investigational anticoagulant that targets factor XI failed to prevent arteriovenous graft (AVG) thrombosis in chronic ...

hemodialysis requires an access point. You typically need to undergo a surgical procedure for a doctor to create an access point, most often an arteriovenous (AV) fistula or AV graft, in your arm.

The late-breaking podium presentation, titled “Prospective Randomized Trial of Humacyte's Acellular Tissue Engineered Vessel Versus Autologous Arteriovenous Fistula for Hemodialysis Access ...
