Erratum to: J Vasc Access. 2015 Nov 10;16 (Suppl 10):S74-7. The reasons for the failure of the primary arteriovenous fistula surgery in patients with end-stage renal disease. Cheng Q, Zhao YJ. doi: 10.5301/jva.5000424. PubMed PMID: 26481579. We report an error in the abstract of this article: the cephalic vein and radial artery diameters were erroneously expressed in cm instead of mm. We hereby report the correct abstract (correct units of measurement in bold): To analyze the reasons for the failure of the primary arteriovenous fistula surgery and explore preventive measures. A total of 819 patients with end-stage renal disease were enrolled in the study. Autologous arteriovenous fistula surgery was performed on all patients. Their clinical data of hemoglobin (HB), albumin (ALB), cholesterol (CHOL), parathyroid hormone (PTH), blood glucose and blood pressure were collected before surgery, while the diameters of the radial artery and cephalic vein were measured by ultrasound. The operations in 742 patients were successful, but failed in 77 cases (accounting for 7.07%). The failure group was significantly older (61.3 ± 13.4 years) than the successful group (45.6 ± 11.2 years). The ratio of diabetes 36 (46.8%) and hypertension 20 ...Continue Reading
