Mid-term Results of pAVF Creation with the Ellipsys Vascular Access System (VIDEO)
Caption
Alexandros Mallios, MD discusses his recent study published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery regarding the Ellipsys Vascular Access System, a minimally invasive approach to creating vascular access for kidney patients who require hemodialysis. The study showed a 96 percent patency rate at one year with the Ellipsys percutaneous arteriovenous fistula (pAVF), as well as a high safety profile. As the largest study of any pAVF technique to date, Dr. Mallios also offers an algorithm for maintenance to enable more practitioners to adopt this "patient-friendly" approach to dialysis access.
