“…190 An extensive Cochrane library review found no benefit from any type of physical exercise for AVF maturation rates. 191 However, some physical exercise is a relatively innocuous measure, and it helps keep patients engaged with the process of access creation. The use of antiplatelet medication may decrease thrombosis rates but does not increase maturation rates.…”

Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem, and end-stage renal disease requires dialysis. Most patients requiring renal replacement therapy have to undergo hemodialysis. Therefore, vascular access is extremely important for the dialysis population, directly affecting the quality of life and the morbidity and mortality of this patient population. Since making, managing and salvaging of vascular accesses falls within the purview of the vascular surgeon, developing guideline to help specialists better manage vascular accesses for hemodialysis if of great importance. Thus, the objective of this guideline is to present a set of recommendations to guide decisions involved in the referral, evaluation, choice, surveillance and management of complications of vascular accesses for hemodialysis.
