Abstract
Approximately 470 000 Americans have end-stage renal disease, and most are treated with hemodialysis.1 A major challenge in caring for patients undergoing hemodialysis is maintaining a functioning vascular access, which is essential for performing the dialysis procedure. The effect of vascular access dysfunction is substantial—it is a leading reason for hospitalization among patients with end-stage renal disease and has associated annual costs in the United States that exceed $1 billion.2,3Keywords
