A systematic review and meta-analysis of intraoperative intravenous unfractionated heparin bolus in autogenous arteriovenous access surgery
Conclusion:Using intravenous UFH bolus (compared to no heparin) during AVF creation, may improve early clinical patency and reduced thrombosis, but may result in more bleeding complications.Due to the low certainty of evidence, a contemporary multicentre RCT is needed to further assess the validity of this conclusion.This study should provide an update on the existing guideline in the literature.
