CX 2018 Presentations

Introduction "Complex and end-stage vascular access" This masterclass will explore in depth the difficult concepts of complex VA. With the shifting demographic of the haemodialysis population patients are running out of the standard simple solutions for dialysis access and complex access is increasingly common problem in practice. These difficult clinical problems have a range of solutions but with little published guidance available this is inconsistent and often lacks a robust evidence base. The masterclass will cover the range of scenarios presented to the clinician involved in VA with topics ranging from classification of end stage vascular access, diagnostic difficulties and innovative approaches, individual management options with evidence and opinion from global experts through to new devices and novel technologies. Embedded within the masterclass will be short case presentations illustrating the clinical scenarios and provoking audience interaction. This is a first of its kind masterclass and the most in depth examination into this difficult clinical area. - Wednesday, 25th April
