Abstract

Hemodialysis remains the main kidney replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease patients worldwide. When superficial veins are exhausted or arteriovenous fistula cannot be established, arteriovenous graft fistula should be selected as the permanent dialysis access. The article elaborates on the process of arteriovenous graft fistula construction, including many technical aspects, such as preoperative evaluation, surgical plan, graft selection, preoperative preparation, and surgical procedure, which are related to surgical outcomes, complications, and long-term patency rate.
