Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques for creating arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) needed for hemodialysis in people with advanced chronic kidney disease. The standard end-to-side method is being tested against a newer piggyback technique that may reduce complications like narrowing or clotting. About 130 adults who need a new AVF will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures and followed for 12 months to see which technique leads to better fistula maturation and usability for dialysis.
