Official Title: Flow Dysfunction of Hemodialysis Vascular Access: a Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of Surveillance of Arteriovenous Fistulas and Grafts
Brief Summary:
The FLOW trial evaluates the follow-up of the vascular access for hemodialysis.In current clinical care, vascular access flow volume is periodically assessed to detect and treat asymptomatic stenosis.The FLOW trial will determine whether it is safe to abandon this practice of active surveillance.Vascular access stenosis will then be treated only when clinical problems of flow dysfunction occur during hemodialysis.The investigators expect that the intervention rate and medical costs will be reduced by 40% when…
