Patient specific image-based computational modelling for \nimprovement of short- and long-term outcome of vascular access \nin patient on hemodialysis therapy (ARCH)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
More than half a million people live in Europe on chronic renal replacement therapy by hemodialysis (HD). This number increases annually at a constant rate of 8%. The Achilles heel of HD is the vascular access (VA) used to connect patient circulation to the artificial kidney. The current recommendation for VA is the native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), surgically created in the forearm. VA dysfunct ...
