    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Vascular access complications are the primary cause of hospitalization for patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis.
    • Technical issues stemming from surgical planning and execution often lead to these complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical role of radiologic evaluation in managing failing vascular access in hemodialysis patients.
    • To emphasize the importance of surgical planning and technique in preventing access-related complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common vascular access complications in chronic hemodialysis.
    • Analysis of the diagnostic and management utility of radiologic imaging for vascular access.
    • Discussion of preventative surgical strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Vascular access issues are the leading cause of hospital admissions for hemodialysis patients.
    • Many complications are preventable through meticulous surgical procedures.
    • Radiologic assessment is essential for diagnosing and managing various types of access failure.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing surgical planning and technique can significantly reduce vascular access complications.
    • Radiologic evaluation is indispensable for the effective management of failing hemodialysis access.
    • Improved surgical and radiological practices can decrease hospitalization rates for hemodialysis patients.
