About this trial
This study aims to determine which type of distal arteriovenous fistula (SBAVF, RCAVF, and RCAVF with venous branch patch) is most clinically favorable.
The recommendations and scientific evidence do not suggest which option should be chosen initially.
The investigators expect that results will show which type of the anastomosis should be preferred.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Primary patency:
The interval between VA creation and the first re-intervention (intervention free VA survival) for VA dysfunction or thrombosis, the time of measurement of patency or the time of its abandonment
Assisted primary patency:
The interval between VA creation and the first occlusion (thrombosis free VA survival) or measurement of patency including operative/endovascular interventions to maintain the VA.
Secondary patency
The interval between VA creation and the abandonment of this VA (i.e. thrombosis) after one or more interventions or the time of measurement of patency including achievement of a censored event (death, change of HD modality, loss of follow-up).
Secondary outcomes
Mature VA
A fistula was considered mature when the blood flow exceeded 500 ml/min and the diameter of the cephalic vein exceeded 5 mm.
