The impact of minimally invasive dialysis access
MIDA is an innovative approach to dialysis access that offers benefits over open surgery. MIDA advantages include widened indications to the very sick patients, being performed under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance with local anesthesia. New devices are being developed that may meet stricter criteria with improved efficacy. The cost of device and added procedures required for maturation and patency may prevent widespread application for now. Real-world data is needed to determine long term clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Additional skills training and team collaborations are likely key factors for success.
