View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: The inability of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) to mature sufficiently for adequate dialysis is a major clinical problem confronting chronic hemodialysis. Up to 60% of newly created AVFs fail to mature, and currently there is no effective strategy to enhance AVF maturation. AVF maturation failure results from an imbalance between inward remodeling due to venous neointimal hyperplasia and outward remodeling due to sustained venous dilation. Although inward remodeling has been intensively studied,... |
