Abstract

Maintenance of well-functioning arteriovenous graft through interventional management is critical in the patients undergoing repeated, scheduled hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure (CRF). Understanding basics and procedures of intervention applied is critical to the people working in medical fields to adequately manage the patients. The author expects that through understanding interventional procedures, people working in this field adequately manage the patients undergoing hemodialysis due to CRF by well prepared medical aids.
