Singapore’s experience on the VasQ™ anastomotic external support device to augment arteriovenous fistula maturation: Real world outcomes
The VasQ™ device demonstrated safety and efficacy with improved AVF maturation in a real-world Asian population, across all AVF types (RC, BC, and BVT). The rate of primary failure was low while the BAM rate has improved compared to our historical data. We recommend the use of VasQ™ device as standard of care in patients undergoing AVF creation.
