High rate of native arteriovenous fistulas: How to reach this goal?
The types of vascular accesses for hemodialysis (HD) include the native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), arteriovenous graft (AVG) and central venous catheter (CVC). Adequately matured native AVF is the best choice for HD patients and a high percentage of its presence is the goal of every ne...

| description | The types of vascular accesses for hemodialysis (HD) include the native
arteriovenous fistula (AVF), arteriovenous graft (AVG) and central venous
catheter (CVC). Adequately matured native AVF is the best choice for HD
patients and a high percentage of its presence is the goal of every
nephrologist and vascular surgeon. This paper analyses the number and type of
vascular accesses for HD performed over a 10-year period at the Clinical
Center of Serbia, and presents the factors of importance for the creation of
such a high number of successful native AVF (over 80%). Such a result is,
inter alia, the consequence of the appointment of the Vascular Access
Coordinator, whose task was to improve the quality of care of blood vessels
in the predialysis period as well as of functional vascular accesses, and to
promote the cooperation among different specialists within the field.
Vascular access is the “lifeline” for HD patients. Thus, its successful
planning, creation and monitoring of vascular access is a continuous process
that requires the collaboration and cooperation of the patient, nephrologist,
vascular surgeon, radiologist and medical personnel. |
