简要总结
Newly formed dialysis fistulae can often fail, and failure is usually due to narrowing of the blood vessels. Methods of detecting narrowing are available and, more importantly, can detect narrowings before a fistula fails. It is not known whether treating these narrowings will actually improve fistula survival or if the majority can be left alone. we wish to see if we can detect such narrowings with ultrasound scanning and if early detection and treatment improves patient outcomes.

结局指标
主要结局
Cumulative or secondary patency
时间窗: within 6 months of fistula formation
This being the interval from the time of access placement until access abandonment, thrombosis, or the time of patency measurement including intervening manipulations (surgical or endovascular interventions) designed to re-establish functionality in thrombosed access.
次要结局
- Number of fistula failures(within 6 months of fistula formation)
- Number, type and technical success rate for elective interventions(within 6 months of fistula formation)
- Number of thrombosis events(within 6 months of fistula formation)
- Number, type and technical success rate of acute interventions(within 6 months of fistula formation)
