In the article “Fistula First Approach: still valid?”, with DOI code number https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2020-U001, published at Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2021;43(2):263-268:
Where it was written:
Page 264:
Countless papers on vascular access for hemodialysis started with some variation of the phrase “The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the gold standard access for hemodialysis, due to due to it’s lower rate of complications and mortality compared to arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) and catheters”.
The increase in the creation of AVFs has shown a rate of primary of maturation failures from 23% to 46%, with a great need for interventions to reach maturity.1–5
Page 265 (Table 2):
Distal antes de proximal.
FAV antes de EAV.
HD: hemodiálise, TFG: taxa de filtração glomerular, FAV Fístula arteriovenosa, EAV Enxerto arteriovenoso, DP: diálise peritoneal.
