The choice between arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) influences long-term dialysis outcomes, with AVFs offering superior patency but higher maturation failure rates and AVGs providing immediate usability at the expense of increased complications. Recent advancements in endovascular techniques and biomaterials have introduced novel approaches to optimizing vascular access.\n                    <jats:bold>Purpose:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This review examines the latest evidence on AVF and AVG creation, focusing on factors affecting maturation, long-term patency, and emerging minimally invasive techniques, such as percutaneous AVF creation, to enhance hemodialysis access outcomes.\n                    <jats:bold>Research Design:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A systematic review of current literature, clinical guidelines, and innovations in vascular access for dialysis patients was conducted. Emphasis was placed on comparative effectiveness studies, patency and complication rates, and new endovascular approaches.\n                    <jats:bold>Study Sample:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Data were sourced from clinical trials, registry reports, and systematic reviews evaluating AVF and AVG outcomes, as well as emerging endovascular fistula technologies.\n                    <jats:bold>Data Collection and\/or Analysis:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Key parameters such as patency rates, infection rates, thrombosis incidence, and maturation success were analyzed. Particular attention was given to procedural innovations, including bioengineered grafts and percutaneous fistula creation, assessing their impact on long-term dialysis access viability.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    AVFs maintain superior long-term patency but are hindered by primary failure rates, necessitating interventions for maturation. AVGs, while more prone to infection and thrombosis, offer a viable alternative when native vessels are unsuitable. Endovascular AVF creation has demonstrated high technical success and promising long-term outcomes, reducing the need for traditional surgical approaches. Advances in biomaterials and adjunctive pharmacologic therapies may further improve vascular access durability.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Individualized vascular access planning remains essential to optimizing hemodialysis outcomes. The evolution of minimally invasive techniques, coupled with improved patient selection criteria and emerging biomaterials, offers new opportunities for enhancing dialysis access longevity. Future research should focus on refining endovascular approaches and integrating novel technologies to minimize complications and improve access patency.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15385744251328396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]],"date-time":"2025-03-24T05:39:02Z","timestamp":1742794742000},"page":"513-527","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Alpha to Omega of Dialysis Access: Arteriovenous Fistula and Graft (Part 1)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6763-900X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Ghasemi-Rad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Trinh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Center, School of Medicine, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohadese","family":"Ahmadzade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"},{"name":"Pardis Noor Medical Imaging and Cancer Center, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1031-5116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin","family":"Agahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xavier","family":"Jefferson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carleigh","family":"Klusman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6560-0232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Leon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Wynne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Renal Division; Department of Radiology, Section of Interventional Nephrology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"System USRD. 2020 USRDS annual data report: epidemiology of kidney disease in the United States. 2020. https:\/\/adr.usrds.org\/2020"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehaa650"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2471\/blt.17.206441"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","volume-title":"StatPearls","author":"Hashmi MF","year":"2023","unstructured":"Hashmi MF, Benjamin O, Lappin SL.
