Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure is currently a huge clinical problem. One approach to enhance the AVF maturation rate is an aggressive sequence of balloon angioplasty procedures, often known as balloon-assisted maturation. The goal of the current paper is to explore the pros and cons of this procedure and to try and better identify its impact on AVF maturation.
动静脉瘘（AVF）成熟失败目前是一个巨大的临床问题。提高 AVF 成熟率的一种方法是进行积极的球囊血管成形术序贯治疗，通常称为球囊辅助成熟。本文的目的是探讨该手术的优缺点，并尝试更好地确定其对 AVF 成熟的影响。
