Ravindhran, B., Totty, J. P., Sidapra, M., Lathan, R., Carradice, D., Chetter, I. C., & Smith, G. E. (in press). Long term outcomes of ‘Christmas Tree’ banding for haemodialysis access induced distal ischemia: A 13-year experience. The journal of vascular access, https://doi.org/10.1177/11297298221141497

Background: The reduction in distal arterial flow following arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation can cause a perfusion deficit known as haemodialysis access induced distal ischemia (HAIDI). Various techniques have been advocated to treat this difficu... Read More about Long term outcomes of ‘Christmas Tree’ banding for haemodialysis access induced distal ischemia: A 13-year experience.
