Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate if a specific monitoring and intervention strategy for native arteriovenous fistulas (NAFs) used in hemodialysis could reduce complications compared to standard care.
- *108 patients with 111 NAFs were split into a control group receiving standard care and an interventional group receiving regular clinical and ultrasound surveillance, with additional treatment for significant issues.
- *Results showed that the interventional group had a significantly lower need for temporary central venous catheters, while both groups showed similar rates of thrombosis, highlighting the effectiveness of proactive monitoring and intervention.*
