In recent years, we have become aware of the multidisciplinary focus on vascular access in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, the interaction between the disciplines is still far from optimal around the world. Consequently, we have heterogeneous prevalence and incidence reports of arteriovenous native (AVFn) creation in each country, despite the recommendation as first access from the guidelines for many years. Although the election of vascular access is individualized at present, many nephrology services face a myriad of complications associated with the use of central venous catheter including stenosis, thrombosis, infection, and recurrent hospitalizations. Likewise, the management of these complications barely considers the future of the kidney disease patient with a problem of vascular access (patient-centered care on vascular access). Communication between all the disciplines is the goal to achieve this proposal.
This Research Topic aims to:
- Share the experience of integrated multidisciplinary focus. Determine the programs and proceedings to arteriovenous native (AVFn) creation and strategies to conserve the patency and limit the complications of vascular access.
- Approach the management of complicated patients with vascular access through surgical and endovascular procedures to promote the surveillance of arteriovenous native (AFVn), management of chronic thoracic central vein obstruction, including the patient with exhausted vascular access.
- Implement a plan focused on the future of the patient with vascular access, integrating into the decision the communication between vascular surgeon, interventional radiologist, nurse coordinator, and nephrologist.
Review manuscripts are accepted with themes around:
- Surgical and endovascular procedures to promote patency.
- Evaluation of hemodialysis vascular access profiles and approach of care in different contexts (Europe and Latin-America).
- Perspective and integration of a multidisciplinary team to care for vascular access.
