Regional anesthesia facilitates fistula creation over graft in patients with small-caliber veins: A single-center cohort
RA-induced venodilation enables the use of veins previously deemed inadequate for AVF creation, leading to improved access outcomes compared to AVG placement. Implementing RA may increase AVF utilization and enhance patient outcomes in hemodialysis access surgery.
