A comprehensive renal vascular access clinic results in improved patient outcomes and reduced costs.

Background: Management of vascular access for haemodialysis is a leading cause of morbidity and hospitalization in patients with end-stage renal disease. We sought to evaluate the change in admission and procedural outcomes before and after the establishment of a vascular surgeon-led comprehensive renal vascular access clinic (RVAC).

Method: A retrospective clinical study was conducted after an RVAC was established in January 2013, with retrospective database created for the 24-month period prior to and after.
