| Abstract: |
| The number of the elderly patients receiving hemodialysis increase with the social and economic development, for whom vascular access is critical. However, it is difficult to establish a vascular access in the elderly patients who have more perioperative and postoperative complications and lower long-term patency rate compared with the young patients. Its long-term maintenance is also faced with many challenges. This article investigated the characteristics of vascular access and effective interventions in the elderly patients by analyzing the diagnosis and treatment of a patient who received maintenance hemodialysis in our center, providing reference for establishment and maintenance of the subsequent vascular access. |
