Role of Doppler Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation and Detection of Complications in Hemodialysis Patients
DUS parameters, particularly preoperative vessel diameters and four-week flow rates, significantly predict AVF maturation and primary failure. Routine ultrasound evaluation facilitates optimal vascular access planning, the early detection of complications, and improved AVF outcomes in hemodialysis patients.
