Vascular access morbidity and mortality: trends of the last decade.
During the past decade, clear trends in the types of incident and prevalent hemodialysis vascular access can be observed. There has been a steady increase and recent stabilizaton of patients… Expand
Arteriovenous fistula outcomes in the era of the elderly dialysis population.
BACKGROUND
The growth of patients > or =65 years on hemodialysis is increasing. Guidelines recommend arteriovenous fistula (AVF) access but their outcomes in elderly patients are controversial. This… Expand
