Улучшение качества гемодиализа в современную эпоху предъявляет возрастающие требования к более продолжительному функционированию сосудистых доступов. Наш опыт показывает, что хирургический метод обеспечивает высокую эффективность в области формирования и поддержания потенциала постоянного сосудистого доступа для гемодиализа. Применение дополнительных методов исследования (фистулография, допплер-сонография) позволяет своевременно диагностировать развитие осложнений со стороны сосудистого доступа, что способствует их успешной профилактике и коррекции.

The improvement of haemodialysis quality requires more long functioning of vascular access. We demonstrate, that the surgical method provides high efficiency of formation and supporting of permanent vascular access for haemodialysis. The application of additional methods (fistulography, duplex Doppler sonography) allows to diagnose the developement of complications of vascular access, that promotes their successful prophylaxis and correction.
