Patients who receive a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) are prone to develop end-stage renal disease. Primary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation in these patients may be unsuccessful secondary to the nonpulsatile flow with an LVAD. Two patients with LVADs are described in whom assisted maturation aided long-term AVF patency.
接受左心室辅助装置（LVAD）的患者容易发展为终末期肾病。由于LVAD的非搏动性血流，这些患者的原发性动静脉内瘘（AVF）成熟可能不成功。本文描述了两名接受LVAD的患者，其辅助成熟有助于AVF长期通畅。
