Clip versus suture anastomosis for arteriovenous fistula: A systematic review and meta-analysis
This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates evidence that clip anastomosis may offer superior patency and longevity for AV fistula access when compared to standard of care. Studies were largely retrospective in nature and heterogeneity may influence results. Higher quality studies comparing clip and suture-based techniques are required to validate these outcomes.
