Vascular access failure (VAF) is the most common reason for hospitalization among hemodialysis (HD) patients. The economic burden of VAF is estimated to be greater than 1 billion dollars per year and continues to grow. The purpose of this special issue is to focus on recent advances in our understanding of dialysis access dysfunction.
