A member asked:
Av fistula, av graft, subclavian or femoral catheter, av shunt permanent or temporary, which is better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
AV fistula: Countless studies and decades of research have shown a clear advantage for patients who undergo hemodialysis through an av fistula. The second best is an av graft and all catheter-based modalities for hemodialysis are a distant third.
