Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the surveillance of Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) to detect early dysfunction and prolong access-patency, comparing clinical examination (CE), doppler, and fistulogram as detection methods.
- Conducted between December 2019 and April 2021, it involved patients with matured AVF and assessed secondary failure rates using these three methods, with the fistulogram considered the gold standard.
- Results showed that out of 88 analyzed patients at six months, 86.4% had patent AVFs, 9.1% experienced secondary failure, and the combination of CE and doppler had the highest sensitivity for detecting issues in AVF.
