Abstract

Successful hemodialysis access placement is of utmost importance for patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease, and it is optimized by preoperative evaluation and planning. This evaluation includes history and physical examination by the surgeon as well as noninvasive imaging. In this chapter, we discuss the preoperative workup for hemodialysis access including vein mapping of the superficial and deep venous systems of the upper extremity as well as segmental pressures, pulse-volume recording, and arterial duplex imaging. Each test is used preoperatively with the goal of improving outcomes for hemodialysis access placement.
