Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation with a thermal resistance anastomosis device (TRAD).
Materials And Methods: From January 2014 to March 2015, 26 patients underwent ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous creation of proximal radial artery-to-perforating vein AVFs with a TRAD that uses heat and pressure to create a fused anastomosis. Primary endpoints were fistula creation, patent fistula by Doppler US, two-needle dialysis at the prescribed rate, and device-related complications.
