New Approaches to Arteriovenous Fistula Creation.
TL;DR: Minimally invasive methods of creation of an arteriovenous fistula with novel devices are under investigation, with preliminary published results available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accessory Vein Obliteration for Early Fistula Failure: A Myth or Reality?
TL;DR: The pathophysiology of EFF as pertains to the presence of av's is reviewed, including current recommendations for obliteration of av, the available techniques and the evidence to support current clinical practice are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vessel Preservation in Chronic Kidney Disease
TL;DR: The current review evaluates the strategies used to preserve peripheral veins, central veins, and peripheral arteries in patients with advanced CKD.

Cilostazol May Improve Maturation Rates and Durability of Vascular Access for Hemodialysis.
Todd Russell,Gregory C. Kasper,Andrew J. Seiwert,Anthony J. Comerota,Anthony J. Comerota,Fedor Lurie,Fedor Lurie +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that dialysis access patients may benefit from preoperative and postoperative cilostazol therapy and, if confirmed by a randomized trial, this treatment will have a major beneficial impact on patients dependent on a well-functioning access for their hemodialysis.
Book ChapterDOI
Pathogenesis and Prevention of Vascular Access Failure
TL;DR: This chapter will discuss the mechanisms underpinning vascular access failure as well as strategies for preventing this adverse outcome.

Statistical Aspects of the Analysis of Data From Retrospective Studies of Disease
Nathan Mantel,William Haenszel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role and limitations of retrospective investigations of factors possibly associated with the occurrence of a disease are discussed and their relationship to forward-type studies emphasized, and examples of situations in which misleading associations could arise through the use of inappropriate control groups are presented.
Book
Group Sequential Methods with Applications to Clinical Trials
TL;DR: A short history of sequential and group sequential methods can be found in this paper, where the authors present a road map for the application of two-sided tests for comparing two treatments with normal response of known variance.

Increasing arteriovenous fistulas in hemodialysis patients: Problems and solutions
Michael Allon,Michelle L. Robbin +1 more
TL;DR: Implementing these measures is likely to increase the prevalence of fistulas in any given dialysis unit, however, differences among dialysis units are likely to persist because of differences in gender, race, and co-morbidity mix of the patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodialysis vascular access morbidity.
TL;DR: To reduce vascular access-related morbidity, strategies must be developed not only to prevent and detect appropriately early synthetic vascular access dysfunction, but to better identify the patients in a whom radial arteriovenous fistula is a viable clinical option.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggressive treatment of early fistula failure
TL;DR: If correctable pathology is detected in patients with early fistula failure, the incidence of correctable lesions is relatively high and an aggressive therapeutic approach can be expected to have a high yield.
