Dialysis Access Timeline Comparison: Ellipsys vs. Surgical Fistula (IMAGE)
Caption
The Ellipsys Vascular Access System enables patients with kidney failure to start lifesaving dialysis treatments sooner, according to a new study published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology. In the U.S., literature reports the time to dialysis with surgical fistula averages 135 days, but in the new study from Jeffrey Hull, MD, the Ellipsys endoAVF System reduced the average time from fistula creation to dialysis to just 66 days. Giving patients the most desired dialysis access in half the time can reduce reliance on riskier vascular access methods, like central venous catheters (CVCs).
