Is Endovascular Arteriovenous Fistula a Feasible Alternative for Hemodialysis Patients?

Introduction: For hemodialysis (HD) patients, the selection of vascular access is a crucial factor that significantly affects morbidity and mortality. Historically, native arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) have been established using surgical techniques. However, devices facilitating percutaneous endovascular arteriovenous fistula (endoAVF) formation have recently been introduced in clinical practice, showing promising initial evidence.
