Outcomes of Vascular Access in Octogenarians: An Analysis of Cases

Elderly patients had lower body weight and body mass index and had a higher rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. No significant differences were found with respect to primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency rates according to age. This study suggests that excellent patency rates were achieved in octogenarians compared with younger patients.
