THE IMPACT OF ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA CREATION ON HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS OF RESERVOIR-WAVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

Objective:Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of choice in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring hemodialysis (HD). AVF adds a high flow and low resistance circuit into the arterial system. We had previously shown that AVF is associated with a reduction in blood pres
