- The study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of upper limb arteriovenous fistulas used for hemodialysis in patients, focusing on their Doppler ultrasound results.
- Conducted at Yaoundé University Teaching Hospital, it included 41 dialysis patients and found that a significant number had complications such as stenosis and low flow volume.
- Key findings showed that over half of the fistulas were stenosed, with common complications including aneurysms and reverse flow, highlighting a high prevalence of vascular issues in these access points.
