Comparing three types of arteriovenous fistulas for dialysis access

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the clinical outcomes of three different types of distal arteriovenous fistulas: the snuffbox arteriovenous fistula (SBAVF), the radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF), and the RCAVF with a venous branch patch. The goal is to determine which type provides the best vascular access for patients undergoing hemodialysis, particularly focusing on the rates of early failure and maturation of the fistulas. By analyzing patient outcomes, the study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimal vascular access in patients with end-stage renal disease.
