This special series encompasses a comprehensive multidisciplinary overview of advancements in these endovascular and surgical interventions in the end-stage renal disease population. It also sheds light on evolving technologies, such as endovascular arteriovenous fistula creation and the current evidence for the use of drug-coated balloons in vascular access maintenance.
