abstract：BACKGROUND:A reason for the higher frequency of vascular access-related infections in buttonhole cannulation patients remains to be elucidated. If the higher frequency of infections is associated with a factor(s) inherent to the buttonhole method (e.g. existence of a buttonhole track or other factors), the frequency of...
