Abstract

Recently developed endovascular techniques to create percutaneous arteriovenous fistulas are an alternative to surgical arteriovenous fistula creation, although there is currently a lack of high-level evidence regarding their creation, maturation, utilization, and long-term function. Recognizing this, the Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation sponsored a Research Consensus Panel and Summit for the prioritization of a research agenda to identify and address the gaps in current knowledge.
