Discussion

Research reveals that a selective vascular access strategy improves outcomes for patients with CKD, suggesting better management of resources.

The selective vascular access strategy results in fewer access procedures compared to the Fistula First strategy.
Patients with AVF non-maturation rates of 30-40% may benefit more from AVG placement in terms of costs.
AVFs frequently require interventions for maturation, decreasing their effective patency over time, especially in high-risk patients.
KDOQI guidelines advocate for tailoring vascular access to individual patient conditions instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

Allon et al. (2025) studied this question.
