Percutaneous Creation of Hemodialysis Fistulas

Dheeraj K Rajan. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2023 Sep.

Abstract

Non-surgical, percutaneous, or endovascular hemodialysis arteriovenous creation represent an evolution of access creation away from traditional surgical fistulas. These fistulas are additional to surgical alternatives and published studies with the two commercially available devices suggest positive outcomes in terms of technical success, maturation, functionality, and patency. Relevant published studies are presented, and other considerations related to these new devices/procedures are also summarized.

Keywords: Creation; Dialysis; Endovascular; Fistula.
