Forearm venous distensibility predicts successful arteriovenous fistula
The success of a newly created arteriovenous fistula (AVF) depends on sufficient maturation of the forearm vein used. This maturation fails in up to 50%. We hypothesize that impairment of forearm venous distensibility, ie, the ability of veins to adjust to increased pressure, is related to AVF failu...
