Overview

Single-center retrospective study demonstrates favorable long-term patency of arteriovenous fistulas in children on hemodialysis, indicating their durability for pediatric vascular access.

Key Points

  • Pediatric arterio-venous fistulas achieved secondary patency of 87.3% at one year and 66.6% at ten years, maintaining a low primary failure rate of 10.5%.
  • Single-center retrospective study evaluated 57 young hemodialysis patients receiving forearm or upper arm fistulas between 1993 and 2023 across 6.9 years of median follow-up.
  • Findings highlight that arterio-venous fistulas provide durable long-term vascular access in pediatric patients, supporting their role as primary hemodialysis access.
