Figure 4:

The types of created VA based on the clinical judgement of the operating surgeon. ‘Others’ included two autogenous radial-basilic forearm transpositions (0.2%), one ulnar-basilic direct access without transposition (0.1%), one ulnar-cephalic direct proximal access (0.1%), one axillary-axillary graft (0.1%) and one HeRO Graft (0.1%). ‘None’ included 11 (1.1%) central venous lines inserted while 88 patients did not have any VA placed. These patients had either another form of renal replacement therapy established, died or were lost to follow-up from our study prior to VA placement (as detailed in patient characteristics).
