Midterm results of percutaneous arteriovenous fistula creation with the Ellipsys Vascular Access System, technical recommendations, and an algorithm for maintenance

Abstract

The Ellipsys pAVF device allows the rapid and safe creation of a reliable autogenous access. Rates of technical success, patency, and maturation were excellent. For patients unsuited for a distal radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula, it should be considered the next preferred access option.
