Abstract
Background: A significant limitation of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) is their high primary failure rate due to non-maturation. Dilation of the vein is an important feature, which occurs as a response to increased blood flow and consequent shear stress after creation of a fistula. We studied the influence of cephalic vein distensibility on fistula maturation.
