Histogram (percentage) of the median time from the creation to the first cannulation of AVFs in the temporary CVC group (a) and in the permanent VA group (b). The time for the temporary CVC group was significantly shorter than the time for the permanent VA group (8 vs. 66 days, P < 0.001). More than 80% of patients in the temporary CVC group had an AVF successfully punctured within 14 days. In contrast, 175 patients (68%) in the permanent VA group were punctured after 30 days and 46 patients (18%) were punctured after 6 months
