note = "Background. Arteriovenous fistula maturation requires dilatation of the anastomosed artery and vein. The factors that affect dilatation and the mechanisms by which dilatation promotes maturation are not understood. This pilot study tested two hypotheses: that low arterial elasticity is associated with maturation failure, and that vessel dilatation is required for adequate fistula blood flow during dialysis.Methods.",
