Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness and safety of arteriovenous fistulas in octogenarian patients undergoing hemodialysis, analyzing outcomes such as patency rates and survival over 24 months.
- It involved a review of 88 interventions in 70 patients, finding a significant primary failure rate and various documented complications like edema and infection.
- Results indicate that octogenarians have similar fistula patency rates as younger patients, suggesting age alone shouldn't prevent the use of arteriovenous fistulas in this population.
