Abstract:
Although the sample and followup is somewhat modest, the results indicate that the mean maturation period was shorter (5.7 vs 16.8 wks) and, although statistically non significant, the proportion of fistula maturing was larger (76.9% vs 69.0%) and functional patency was longer (67.9% vs 49.8%) for the hydrostatic dilatation group illustrating that the strategy is helpful. This may indicate that hydrostatic dilation of the vein is useful in haemodialysis vascular access.
