Endovascular arteriovenous fistula creation
Keywords:
Endovascular Arteriovenous, EndoAVF, Fistula CreationAbstract
Functioning vascular access is an essential element for life-saving hemodialysis therapy. A surgically-created arteriovenous fistula has been considered the best option for many years. Recently, two manufacturers developed systems for percutaneous/endovascular creation of an arteriovenous fistula. Shahverdyan et al. looked back at the records of 100 people who had 4-Fr WavelinQ and Ellipsys endoAVF implants. During the index operation, the WavelinQ cohort had brachial vein ablation, and the Ellipsys group had balloon angioplasty of the junction. There were no big changes between the two groups at the start (6). This study showed that compared to WavelinQ (19), Ellipsys has higher total patency rates but the same maturity rates and dialysis rates.
