Arteriovenous graft and permanent cuffed catheter procedures were excluded .The age group were between 14 years to 70 years.The fistula maturation was assessed by clinical examination of quality of thrill and color doppler correlation. Results: Out of the total 228 arteriovenous fistula, radiocephalic fistula 109 (47.80 %), brachiocephalic fistula 99 ( 43.42 %) and basilic vein fistula consisting both radiobasilic and brachiobasilic fistula 20 ( 8.77%). Basilic vein fistula primary patency rate is 80% at one year.
