“…AVF is an autologous access created by connecting a vein to an artery, whereby the vein acts as the accessible conduit 4 . AVF has been tagged the gold standard for maintaining vascular access to the body's circulation for haemodialysis 5 . Characteristics such as reduced complication rate, long-term usage, lower maintenance costs, lowered associated mortality, high durability, little or no interventions; have made AVF the best for vascular access, when compared to AVG and catheters 1,6,7 .…”
