Computational Modelling to Improve Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation Rates: Close But Not Yet There!

Vascular access maturation failure is unfortunately, a not uncommon event, even after the successful creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). It has been reported that 20%–40% of AVFs fail to mature, and either adjunctive procedures are required, or new vascular accesses have to be created so that the patient may be haemodialysed efficiently.1Schmidli J.
