Background The creation and management of an autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis patients is still a critical procedure. The placement of a functional and long-lasting VA derives from adequate planning of the surgical procedure based on physical examination, vascular mapping and selection of the best modality for arteriovenous anastomosis. The risk of AVF non-maturation and early failure is high, even when all precautions are taken to minimize these…

Clinical use of computational modeling for surgical planning of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis
TLDR
Clinical use of computational modeling for AVF surgical planning can help the surgeon to select the best surgical strategy, reducing AVF early failures and complications, and to improve AVF clinical outcome.
The importance of success prediction in angioaccess surgery
TLDR
The purpose of this review article is to stress the importance of success prediction in order to avoid unsuccessful attempts in angioaccess surgery.
Can a Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio Derived from Preoperative Blood Tests Predict Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation?
Repeated mappings of arm veins by physical examination: role of nephrologists in the selection of suitable veins for AV fistula surgery
TLDR
If the first examination fails to detect suitable veins, repeated examinations of arm veins by nephrologists during routine office visits may greatly assist the surgeons in the selection of suitable arm veins for arteriovenous fistula surgery.
Factors responsible for cerebral hypoxia in hemodialysis population.
TLDR
Lower rSO(2) values in patients with heart failure and higher RDW suggest that hemodynamic instability combined with vascular changes probably leads to worse cerebral oxygenation in these patients.
Optimising the maturation rate of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD)
TLDR
All of the relevant titles were obtained and evaluated for eligibility (KB, DH) and any remaining uncertainty was resolved by examination of KB, DH.
Sichere Shuntchirurgie – aus der Sicht des Nephrologen
TLDR
The prerequisites for a vascular access for hemodialysis have become less favorable and the risk for the patient has increased, and nephrologists play a pivotal role in the timely patient education and planning of an optimal vascular access.

TLDR
Quality indicators in angioaccess surgery can serve as a helpful tool in choosing the best vascular access surgeon or vascular access center and reflect on increased survival and quality of life in patients needing hemodialysis.

Validation of a patient-specific hemodynamic computational model for surgical planning of vascular access in hemodialysis patients.
TLDR
A patient-specific computational vascular network model that includes vessel wall remodeling to predict blood flow change within 6 weeks after surgery for different arteriovenous fistula configurations is reviewed, potentially reducing the incidence of vascular access dysfunctions and the need of patient hospitalization.
Computational model for simulation of vascular adaptation following vascular access surgery in haemodialysis patients
TLDR
A 0D/1D computational model of arm vasculature able to simulate vessel wall remodelling and related changes in blood flow is developed and may allow accurate vascular surgery planning and ameliorate VA surgery outcomes.
Factors affecting the patency of arteriovenous fistulas for dialysis access.
Outcomes of arteriovenous fistula creation after the Fistula First Initiative.
TLDR
The data demonstrate that artery size is the main predictor of AVF patency and primary failure remains a major issue in the post-Fistula First era.
Patient-Specific Model of Arterial Circulation for Surgical Planning of Vascular Access
TLDR
The technical aspects of a novel method to generate patient-specific vascular network models of arterial vasculature for the surgical planning of vascular access for hemodialysis and results show that vascular geometry is influenced by sex, age and body size leading to important differences in hemodynamic function are reported.
Primary patency rates of AV fistulas and the effect of patient variables.
TLDR
Overall primary patency rates for wrist and elbow fistulae are comparable to similar studies at 6, 12 and 24 months, and it is suggested that creation of primary vascular access at the elbow in older females and diabetics may be associated with better results.
Clinical Study Protocol for the ARCH Project Computational Modeling for Improvement of Outcome after Vascular Access Creation
TLDR
The rationale behind computational modeling and the clinical study protocol designed for calibrating and validating these modeling tools are presented and the strategy adopted to perform the study and for data collection are described.

TLDR
The majority of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have anatomy suitable for arteriovenous fistula creation, and access planning should involve not only a plan for the initial procedure, but include an algorithm to provide an access sequence to support the patient through the entire ESRD life.
Hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula patency revisited: results of a prospective, multicenter initiative.
TLDR
Hemodialysis patients with diabetes can be expected to have reduced primary functional patency rates, but if treated adequately, then arteriovenous fistula functionality can be maintained as long as in patients without diabetes.
