💥Which of these predict AVF Maturation?
⚡️Pre-op Venous and Arterial Intimal
Hyperplasia?
⚡️Post-op AVF stenosis?
⚡️Pre-existing functional vascular
characteristics?
⚡️Post-op AVF Ultrasound?

💥Why was pre-op venous intimal hyperplasia NOT associated with AVF maturation failure?
⚡️Likely because these lesions are histologically quiescent: Lack inflammatory cells (CD68) and proliferative activity (Ki67)👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

💥Hemodialysis Fistula Maturation (HFM) Study-multicenter, prospective cohort - has identified predictors & mechanisms of AVF maturation success & failure - 👆🏽
⚡️70% pts. achieved AVF maturation w/ or w/o assistance in this cohort👇🏽
#VascularAccessPearls
💥Does pre-existing arterial intimal hyperplasia predict AVF failure?
⚡️No - it did not in this single center study 👇🏽
⚡️But the Pre-op arterial diameter was 2 mm or greater in all the pts.
