A Society of Interventional Radiology Practice Guidance Document on Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistulae for Dialysis Access.

The Renal and Genitourinary Clinical Specialty Council of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) formed a workgroup in collaboration with the SIR Guidelines and Statements Division to create up-to-date society-based consensus recommendations for the creation and maturation of percutaneous arteriovenous fistulae (pAVFs) for hemodialysis access. This practice guidance document serves as a summary of what is required to develop a pAVF program, including patient preparation, performance of the procedure, adverse event management, and follow-up care.
