Introduction:
Recently, there have been many studies about risk factors of maturation failure. However, there is no valuable predictor and no study regarding the relationship between intra-operative venous distensibility and fistula maturation. The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of the intra-operative cephalic vein distensibility on maturation of radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF).
