Abstract
Non-penetrating titanium clips (clips) offer a theoretical advantage of inducing less intimal hyperplasia at an anastomosis due to less endothelial injury. Whether this translates into improved outcomes when used in creating arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) remains unclear. We sought to compare the maturation, patency and failure rates of anastomoses created using traditional continuous polypropylene suture (suture) and clips.
