Abstract: 【Abstract】Hemodialysis is a common modality for renal replacement therapy in patients with end stage renal disease (ESDR). The favorable long-term vascular access ensures the success of hemodialysis. Longterm hemodialysis arteriovenous vascular access may induce a number of complications. In addition to the complication of thrombosis, other problems such as stenosis, aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm, steal syndrome, central venous obstruction, heart failure, neuropathy and infection may occur. These non- thrombotic complications are reviewed.

Key words: hemodialysis, vascular access, thrombotic, complication
