Less than 15% of dialysis fistulas remain patent and can function without problems during the entire period of a patient's dependence on hemodialysis. The mean problem-free patency period after creation of native fistulas is approximately 3 years, whereas prosthetic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts last 1-2 years before indications of failure or thrombosis are noted.
Which president is credited with inspiring the Maxwell House slogan âGood to the last dropâ?-Ronald Reagan-Theodore Roosevelt-Ulysses S. Grant-John F. Kennedy. Answer: The author of the famous âGood to the Last Dropâ slogan is former president Theodore Roosevelt.
