Techniques like the use of nonpenetrating vascular clips for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) anastomotic creation have been developed in an effort to reduce fistula-related complications. However, the outcome data for the use of clips remains equivocal, while cost evaluations to support their use have been largely theoretical. Therefore, this study aimed to determine both the clinical and cost outcomes of AVFs created with nonpenetrating vascular clips compared to continuous suture technique over a 10-year period at a single institution.
