Data sets from 70 hemodialysis patients who were deemed eligible for AVF surgery\u2014according to specific physical examination (PE) criteria for vessel anatomy\u2014were analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. In the PE group, no other investigation was performed, and the patient underwent AVF creation. The other patients (M group) underwent PUSM, and the AVF was created according to the mapping results. Early AVF success was defined as clinical detection of thrill (immediately and on postoperative day 1). Ultrasonographic parameters were recorded on the first postoperative day and at 1 and 6\u00a0months postoperatively. The need for intervention and intervention\u2010free AVF survival and cumulative AVF survival were also noted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The PE and M groups showed similar rates of early AVF success: immediate thrill, PE 24\/35 (68.6%) vs. M 26\/33 (78.8%), <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.340; postoperative day 1, PE 20\/34 (58.8%) vs. M 24\/32 (75%), <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.164.
