Abstract:
Vascular access is the dialysis patient's lifeline. Lower extremity arteriovenous accesses are a potential vascular access option in hemodialysis patients who have exhausted all upper-limb sites.The lower extremity options are including autogenous and prosthetic arteriovenous accesses.Numerous challenges including patency rates and complications are encountered in the lower extremities that are not seen in the upper extremities.In this review,we focus on the advances in lower extremity accesses.
