Arteriovenous Access Surgery Ensuring Adequate Vascular Access for Hemodialysis /
Owing to demographic trends and medical progress, the number of patients requiring renal replacement therapy is increasing steadily. Longer survival on hemodialysis also means that surgeons have to face more complex and challenging situations regarding life-sustaining access vessels. This book off...
